1.The current series of Rob Williams' LOWLIFE running in 2000AD is a thing of glory. Here its erudite artist D'Israeli gives us a nice little potted visual history of Mega City One.
2. As a big aul' Brendan McCarthy fan, I've a special place in my heart for his Brit Cit Judge design. After the B-Man, the best use of the design was in ARMITAGE, by Dave Stone and Sean Phillips. Not everyone's favourite character, but I always thought it was a decent stab at utilising the other (British, non-procedural) crime-writing tradition within the Dredd ethos. Sean returns to the character for an upcoming cover of JUDGE DREDD MEGAZINE.
