Pretty things from the Internet what I have found or had thrust under my online nose this week…… More incredible Alex Toth artwork…. just a masterclass of intelligent, visual design and perfection in storytelling. From Red Circle Sorcery #9 (1974). The full strip is over at Alison Sampson’s Space In Text. Jill Thompson does Archie. [...]

I think Nigel Auchterlouinie is onto something here with his bloody funny Judge Smudge. 2000AD, are you watching – don’t sue, don’t issue take-down notices – commission this! And if you think this is good – you really need to buy yourself Spleenal for Chritmas.

As we blogged last week the brilliant Brendan McCarthy has returned to 2000 AD, collaborating with Al Ewing on Doctor What in Judge Dredd. This week’s issue, Prog 1713, boasts this fab cover by the equally fine D’Israeli, done after the style of McCarthy. D’Israeli channelling McCarthy, with more McCarthy/Ewing goodness inside? Oh drokk, yeah, [...]

The 2000 AD forums has the first sneak-peak look of Karl Urban in his Judge Dredd uniform for the forthcoming movie (which we’re all hoping will excise the memory of the awful Stallone take on Dredd). The helmet looks spot on to me (although I concur with some of the commentors on the forum that [...]

Look at that art and look at those colours – oh yes, unmistakably the excellent Brendan McCarthy! Bren has collaborated with that fine chap Al Ewing to create a new Judge Dredd tale called Dr What?, which features a time-travelling doctor in a Mega City portaloo changing history (no, I have no idea where they [...]

I love this pic – the one and only Carlos Ezquerra, proudly sporting his very own replica Judge badge made for him by the team behind the Judge Minty fan film (which I’m really looking forward to seeing when it is done). And as Richard McAuliffe points out, Carlos is doing a pretty good Dredd-esque [...]

Paul Tobin is running a favourite cover artist countdown on his blog, with the great Steranko at #9, which gives us a good excuse to borrow one of the covers Paul’s celebrating and share it on here – any excuse for some fab Steranko art (thanks to Dave Gibbons for the link): (Steranko puts Nick [...]

As some of you may already know Rebellion is making a serious effort to push 2000 AD more in the American market. Despite the fact that the US comics industry has cherry picked a diverse array of writers and artists who served their time on 2000 AD, from Bolland and Ennis to Morrison and Moore [...]

I’ve been indulging in a little virtual archaeology recently and unearthed some old reviews I wrote years ago, science fiction, fantasy, some pop science books and, as you’d expect, some graphic novel ones. Having rediscovered them I was reposting them to my own blog just to let them see the light of day once more; [...]

PJ Holden alerts us to an early easer trailer for the 2000 AD fan film Judge Minty by Steven Sterlacchini; Squaxx dek Thargo will already be aware that Minty is an old Judge who is paired with Judge Dredd when it is suspected that as he is getting older his judgement is starting to falter. [...]

He’s also worked in American comics as one of the many artists contributing to Richard Starking’s Elephantmen and on X-Factor for Marvel. For this chin-wag, Matthew [...]

He is the Victorian law! Via the always fun b3ta image competitions comes this rendering of Prince Albert as a Judge; all we need now is a Victorian steampunk Lawmaster and a Justice Central designed like the 1851 Crystal Palace to go with it! Is it just me or does anyone else now have an [...]

Jon Haward‘s been allowed by Tharg to show off a page of art he drew for a Wagner-scripted Judge Dredd tale Fat Fathers (nostalgic sigh for the original League of Fatties, eating comps and bellywheels, genius and biting satire in one glorious strip, a 2000 AD trademark). Jon explains it took him three days to [...]

2000 AD Review – a fan site, not surprisingly, given over to celebrating the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic – is running an interesting series of script-to-page features, with the scripts for 2000 AD and Megazine tales on show along with some illustrations. Quite interesting in its own right and, I’d think, also worth a look for [...]
