In lockdown, Luke though he’d read more. But what he’s done is bought more to read, leaving him with a teetering, potentially cat flattening tower of books and comics next to the bed. In amongst that, he’s drawn out this new(er) edition of the Dredd classic.
‘BlazerGate!’
The Perils of Painting Everyone with the Same Brush! ‘Godzilla v Kong’, ‘Invincible’. Flint blows his nose and Rossy is the King of Energy drinks!
Podcast available via iTunes or the Libsyn Webpage as a direct download.
Luke takes a look at the latest (ish – been a few weeks now) release from the stable of the mega successful 77, the homage to boys adventure comics Blazer, brainchild of 2000AD editor Steve MacManus.
Mr. Cholmondley-Warners Spanish Horse!
Justice League Snyder Cut. The Bullets of Justice. Rossy’s Kickstarter Korner and ‘B’ Movie Roundup. The’77…and more Starcrash love!

Bloody hell. With a thing like Covid 19 you would be facing a Sunday Night Fever situation every night as uppity citizenry flip their shit. Still, it will give the idiots a chance to complain about “plandemics” and get out there and riot so that the Judges can come down with brutal efficiency. The problem is that these imbeciles will never accept they are incorrect and even a night or two in the med cubes followed by a long incarceration won’t change their minds. Worth a shot though.
Date- May 2107 (416-418)
The Plot- The Judges cope with a typical Sunday night in the Big Meg.
Helmets- Judge Redding remarks at the huge death toll.
Judge Date is part of the huge death toll so is unable to comment.
Cultural- The Catch Wagon is numbered “Catch 22” in reference to the Joseph Heller classic.
Roy Rogers was an American actor and famed TV cowboy.
Arthur Koestler was a British Hungarian author and political activist.
Dwight Dee may be a nod to former President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Claude Bigot is probably a reference to the 18th century French Foreign Minister.
Bert Jansch was a Scottish folk musician.
Woody Guthrie was an American singer and songwriter famed for his social justice songs.
Bob Dylan’s musical legacy is well known, as his stand on social justice.
Little Richard’s brilliance at singing and piano playing is almost as legendary as his drug use.
With the many musical names on display here, Judge Redding may well be a nod to the great singer Otis Redding.
Law Lore- Accessory to seven deaths carries a thirty year stretch.
Respirators don’t work on rodentine gas, as this can enter the skin and corrode the fuck out of it.
Art– The layouts in this are superb and you can tell that Kennedy was very much being considered for greater things on the basis of this work. The block designs are lovely and the whole thing has a comfortable feel to it, like he’s always been drawing for this strip.
Links– Like The Graveyard Shift, this story builds a bigger picture of the general hassles and craziness the Judges deal with every day and these are played out as simmering in the background before becoming the main action. It is utterly hilarious that the first reaction at the death of the guy in the bar is to take his job. That’s some Covid shit right there. Five links easy.
