1331: SWEET TRANSSEXUAL LIGHTNING!

Heh, heh, heh, ha!

Okay I admit I WAS going to talk about the cover star Atavars return this episode but then I remembered what else was in this issue...

heh hrh hah ha!

man…I do not need to write anything this episode…all I need to do is post two images… hate world of warcrap with all my venom but even I need to acknowledge greatness…





Oh wondering how that ended? Turns out the gold they are going to steal ends up being in the hands of a guy who boils thieves in liquid gold. They end up surrounded by gold and jewels...as statues...

next time your usual slice of slog!

1249: Hells teeth

It’s the big cleanup prog in order for 1250 to unleash its thrill powered contents to the world. A short two part dredd story in which a group of mutants rampage against a group of mega city lawyers (could dredd tell the difference) ends. A short future shock appears and Carver Hale ends never to return aside from a cameo in the birthday prog a few months down the line. A love like blood ends with a cataclysmic battle as imprinted onto the cover.

I am going to talk about tales of telguuth but rather than write about it. You need to hear about it. Its for that reason unlike my other reedits I have kept the video of this one. You need to hear how awful and boring an episode of this series can be.

prog 1191: Scales of justice: 3/5/00

I think he means it don't you readers?

In slow crime day the Judges are getting a bit restless as Mega city one for once is not getting attacked by zombies or Robots or even Robot zombies. Sadly for a Mr. Punk punkley (yeah that’s his name) the judges spot him carrying some fish food and decide to make him their bitch for the day. Poor punkley gets put through the wringer in this story as his home is trashed and one judge even goes as far as to suggest a cavity search. By the time the story ends the bored judges get a call about a fire fight in the city and rush off leaving Dredd to actually apologise to punkley giving him a number to call to fix the mess the judges made and a ticket to the black museum in compensation. The last image of poor Punkley is sad, an innocent citizen sitting in the rubble of his own home because some bored Judges investigated “a hunch”


Item: Steve Moore returns to the prog this issue writing a new series of one offs called tales of telguuth. Steve as Tharg (who is still David bishop at this point despite giving notice on the prog that was Pauls last entry) helpfully points out in this weeks nerve centre wrote the first ever future shock and wrote an early Dan dare adventure. Telguuth was a very weird sword and sorcery Anthology story apparently set on the same planet. I personally found this hard to believe as the planet looked different from episode to episode. What didn’t change from episode to episode was the basic plot. Sorcerers conspire with dozens of powerful demons and were invariably hoist on their own petard after five or fifteen pages Wash, rinse repeat. Sure you may get the odd story about some hero on a quest that encounters a demon and gets hoist on his own petard (ahem) but it was pretty much the same every damn week.


About a year or two after this first episode of telguuth I gave a couple of doublers of 2000ad issues (including this one) to an American friend of mine who was interested in reading this “insane comic that you keep talking about” He liked Dante, He loved Dredd but when it came to Telguuth he had a very funny name for it that I almost named this entry after it but decided not to for taste reasons…..

What was that name I hear you ask?

WORLD OF WARCRAP

Next prog slog: Groan its time to talk about the secret commonwealth...
