To me it works because so much of Dredd is world-building through small, tiny, ultimately inconsequential cases, and the newspaper strips are that in its most condensed form. They feel like one of the ten thousand cases a judge handles per day, like Dredd solves eight of these on his way to a Sector House.

Right, so I cleaned out my old house during the week, and found the first couple of progs I ever bought,but I couldn't find the story that made me realize how great Dredd is. I can't even remember if it was in 2000AD or the Meg. But I'll describe it here, and if any of you encyclopedic earthlets can help me out, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The story opens on a monkey spray-painting "Judges suck" on a wall. The narration is of this guy. He has a fianceé, possibly a wife, a nice car and a job. People are always telling him how blessed he is, how lucky, and he believes them.

Then one day, the car crashes. His wife is horribly killed, but he makes it out. He's alive, but completely paralysed. He sits in his bed, staring blankly, as the doctors tell him how lucky he is to have made it out.

To help him with basic menial tasks, they give him this helper monkey, that he communicates via psychic implants in his temples. He and the monkey bond, as the doctors tell him how lucky he is to have found a friend among all his tragedy.

But he's depressed, and he can't take it anymore. Trapped in an unmoving body with all his pain, he hatches his plan. He has the monkey do the graffiti and get Dredd's attention, the subsequent chase is peppered throughout the guys life story.

The monkey, confused about what's going on, races back to the guy's hospital room. The guy knows as soon as Dredd kicks down that door, he'll be put out of his misery. So Dredd bursts in, lawgiver in-hand, and the guy's ready to die, but that monkey cares too much for his friend and master, and he jumps in front of Dredd's bullet.

Dredd says he doesn't really know what just happened, but the guy sure is lucky he didn't get caught in the crossfire.

The last panel is this man in a hospital bed, vegetative, unmoving, with a tear running down his cheek and a dead, bloody monkey in his lap. I thought it was the funniest fucking thing in the world.

>>95091660
Certainly for Anderson. She's got by far the most well-developed spinoff of the whole verse.
As for Dredd himself, I think the build-up to Necropolis and the years from Origins to Day of Chaos are his high points character wise. But action-wise, it's all about the Apocalypse War for me.

>>95081050
Thanks.

>>95091773
>it's all about the Apocalypse War for me.
Yes.
It's Die Hard 1&2, Predator 1&2, Aliens and similar 80s action movies in comic book form. Especially with the crazy widescreen shit they did (splash pages etc.) and Ezquerra's art is on point all the time.

888KB, 2582x1600px

>>95091907
It's just an absolute masterclass. Art-wise you have Ezquerra fucking drawing his heart out with everything looking huge all the time, scenes like the Lawmaster vs Rad-Sweeper, the burning streets, the huge splash pages, everything just looks massive and spectacular all the time.
And writing-wise it's a masterpiece of pacing and characterization. Just the way Wagner and Grant weave everything, taking Dredd from one threat to another, constantly escalating but giving each situation enough time to feel dire before they're solved. And that third act where Dredd just goes fuck it and turns full proactive is such a fantastic ending.
I would seriously give Apocalypse War to anyone who wants to write action comics of any genre. There's way too much to learn from it.

>>95087942
Well shit.

THIS. Apocalypse War is how you do an event comic. The only thing that comes close to matching it is the original Crisis on Infinite Earths. Most of the DC and Marvel events of the last 2 decades, especially recently, are utter hot garbage next to this.

honestly living in Meg-1 doesn't seem that bad
I mean sure there is some insane disaster every few months, but you have to remember the city is massive and the likelihood of you being effected is pretty minimal

and despite all the crazy shit, Humanity is thriving in the 2000AD universe, 800 million people in Meg1 alone, colonies within the solar system and beyond, interstellar travel, biological immortality is possible, and even without that people can live for well over 100 years.

you've even got a lot of personal freedom so long as you follow the law

>>95096877

>>95100768
>800 million people in Meg1 alone
Not any more~
Also, I think there's a difference between being transported to MC-1 as you are right now, and being born and bred there. The former would be more fun up until you completely fuck up and get shipped to an iso-cube, and the latter would mean you've been indoctrinated from birth to be a moron without any life prospects beyond following an idiotic hobby, cashing your welfare check and occasionally participating in a Block War.
The big question (well, the *other* big question) of life in Mega-City One is wether it's a life worth living.

According to Mills himself, the idea of a dinosaur theme park originally came from some even older sci-fi short story in a 60s anthology, something like that, so he can't take all the credit for it either.
Humanity just really fucking wants dino zoos, I guess.

>>95106085
I mean Bradbury's A Sound of Thunder is basically the core concept, right? And that's 1950s and a very famous short story. There's probably one earlier than that though, I wouldn't be surprised at all.

The idea of going to a park to look at dinosaurs dates back to shortly after dinosaurs were first described.

I can see it. People who have read Bolland's Dredd strips and the Batman crossovers, Bisley's Sláine, maybe Halo Jones because Moore or Rogue Trooper because Gibbons, but that's as far as they go. They think of it as "that one UK mag where all the cool people got their start", which is not exactly wrong-wrong, but they don't read it regularly either. And in some cases don't even know it exists/is still alive.

>>95111050

>>95111246
There's a lot but to me, the best part is that most of it is very straightforward. Like, say you want to read Strontium Dog. Cool, read the S/D Files. Say you want to read Nemesis the Warlock. There's three volumes worth of it. Same with Rogue, same with Slaine. And Rebellion have been doing a pretty good job of reprinting most of it.
Sure, there's some crap out there and some books have those janky crossovers, like the ABC Warriors in Nemesis. But to me, 2000AD only looks hard to get into because it's been running for 40 years and most people haven't even heard it, so they assume it's a complex mess of retcons and shared 'verses like most mainstream comics.

>>95111397
I feel like reading prog to prog is such a trip though. You just get exposure to so much - all the standouts are collected, but you don't get these weird little stories that were only around for a dozen issues. Or these terrible ones with amazing art, some random artist who only stuck around for a few stories then went to illustrate dinosaur books.

I just like the anthology format I guess. I agree no individual 2000AD story is very hard to get into.

>>95111643
Yeah, I'm on a prog slog right now and it's definitely a trip. Just reached 2001 and the Rebellion buy-out. Ended up reading and loving a bunch of super tiny stuff along the way, like Night Zero, Shadows, Soul Gun Warrior and Mother Earth (pretty much the only of those 90s eco-friendly series that I actually enjoyed). It's great that a lot of those have been collected in those cool Megazine mini-trades, tho' that's only if, well, you get the Meg.
But yeah, I wish the first reaction to a 40 year and running anthology wasn't "Oh shit that's probably a fucking mess and a half".

Holy shit this is a good thread.

>>95112568
Well, yes, BUT! I also really enjoyed the black humor and overall anarchic feel of it. Of all those 90s eco series, only this and Finn felt like they went really nuts for me. Trash and Dead Meat and all those others felt very milquetoast by comparison, and Revere completely dropped the eco stuff halfway through. Plus, something about the writing and Mother's design gave me a strong 90s Marvel UK vibe, which is not surprising considering it was written by one of its editors.
Shame it only lasted like six eps, when fucking Dead Meat got two books.

>>95079525

>>95112713
IDK if the strains of the eco stories ever go away. Like Kingdom now is kinda that? And Mother Earth is a similar concept to that one story about the murderous psychic alien who just went around naked for most of the strip (har har) which I can't remember the name of now. Which wasn't very good, like Mother Earth was definitely better.

Longform analysis of 2000AD is really interesting if you're a fan, I'd love to see someone do work paralleling different strips in different eras. It is out there but tends to be in obscure corners of the web and focused on particular interests. Like your own female judges thing.

Yeah, it's a rough one. I think most Finn series spread themselves too thin and repeated themselves a lot. But I really enjoyed the comedy bits, like the Mariners' salute and Finn having to woo the dragon. And it was fun to see all the female readers' letters going like "Ok, you can have all the DeMarco tits you want on the cover, but where's our big two-page Finn pinup?"

>>95112987
>murderous psychic alien who just went around naked for most of the strip (har har)
"The Dead"? And yeah, one of the best things about reading all of 2000AD is seeing not only how artists and writers evolve and change but how the mag itself shifts around. Sure, there's bits of serious crap all around, but it's funny how you can pinpoint with some extreme accuracy stuff like that time in the late 90s where they were trying to get media attention, with BLAIR 1 and (sigh) Space Girls. It makes for interesting analysis.
