The Judge Dredd: accounts of singing stones and other wonders are a gift to those who are open to the presence of other dimensions. Their experience as privates would have been much different from that of the Complete leaders. You could easily turn over her things to Files family. Fast paced, riveting, and similies that kept me smiling. When I asked Craig who his first choice of Editor was, he said longtime editor and consultant Emma D.
I found the narrative of the settling of New Zealand by people from Britain very compelling reading but after visiting New Zealand and speaking to one of our guides, I concluded that the story was probably rather one-sided. I enjoy the insight into painting history. It also appears that his trust in politics is minimal at best. With color photos this is a five star rating. This book grabbed my attention and hooked me in the first chapter just like a great book should. He collects souls. Everyone knows hes a big liar.
This is a slightly different set of stories fr the famous Judge. There arent any major arcs, but this does help to flesh out the world of Mega City One after the insanely deadly Apocalypse War. There are some awesome stories here! The Graveyard. I think Fergee probably predates the general public's awareness of Sarah Ferguson as she didn't become part of the royal family until 7 or 8 years after this strip was published.
As a lad I thought Klegg amusing, a 'Clegg' in Scottish slang is a nasty fly horse fly, I think and have heard it described as excrement of a particularly stubborn kind. John Wagner was raised in Scotland and the US, so it might be a joke on his part.
Mark is right, Fergee was 'the King' long before Fergie was the Duchess. His name is Scottish sounding though. Fergus, Ferguson, it may reference something from his background I think he represents a kind of brute that is either a hero or villain depending on the spin. History is full of them. It's fascinating how abruptly Dredd shifted from the "mostly short stories" format of the first half of vol. For one thing, it's Pat Mills' single longest contribution to Dredd as a writer although John Wagner pops up in the middle of it for a couple of episodes , and his most sustained piece of worldbuilding in the series--although it probably didn't add as much to the series overall as the six pages of "The Return of Rico.
President, Robert L. Booth, being held in suspended animation does turn out to be mighty significant later, though. It's got a whole lot of Action The Way Kids Like It; it's amazing how Mills is capable of shoehorning images of dinosaurs eating people into pretty much any context, even now.
But give him credit: his story about a national park filled with cloned dinosaurs came out a solid 12 years before Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. Even if they're cloned from, er, "DNA cells.
We've gotten some requests for more pictures, so here you go, sport:. Mills' Dredd never really feels like Wagner's, though. In some ways, more power to him--nearly every other writer's Dredd feels like a watered-down imitation of Wagner's, and Mills definitely has his own voice. Even Garth Ennis, Mark Millar and Grant Morrison, when they wrote Dredd, often seemed to be doing Wagner lite, and they're not writers you can ordinarily accuse of not having strong voices.
But a tiny thing that illustrates the difference is that Mills' Dredd exclaims "By Stomm! Wagner's Dredd is more likely to say "Stomm! This is also the volume where "the complete case files" suddenly turn incomplete--the stories from progs 71, 72, 77 and 78, in which Dredd first encounters a war between McDonald's and Burger King partisans and then meets a bunch of mutated corporate mascots, are unreprintable, thanks to legal problems.
Thank goodness we have the Internet. Honestly, they're not the best parts of the story, although it's pretty hilarious to see Brian Bolland's super-serious Mr. Peanut and Michelin Man. And speaking of completeness: it'd have been nice to see the final few Walter the Wobot strips in this volume. The first big problem with "The Cursed Earth," though, is that it's built on a premise that falls apart if you think about it for eight seconds.
Dredd, who has just come back from the moon , is assigned to transport a Blatant Plot Device--excuse me, the vaccine for the "2T FRU T" virus, whose name seems to have been devised in an "oh the hell with it, the kids won't care" moment--across the country. They can't send it by air, because all the airports are held by the "plague men. They have to go overland all the way. This makes no sense. Neither does their route, really. Somebody seems to have figured out that you wouldn't see Mount Rushmore the moment you crossed the Appalachians, and added an explanatory caption to Brian Bolland's hilarious image of the augmented Rushmore to the effect that it had been "moved to just outside Mega-City One"--talk about public works projects!
