Drokktober 2019. Day 17

Day Seeventeen and the theme is Dredd vs a DC Comics character. Anticipating a whole host of Supermens, Batsmens and Wondrous Women, I went for a funner one: Quality Comics' Plastic man, who later became DC property.  And yes, this image is an homage to a Judge Dredd/Judge Death cover by Greg Staples

Drokktober 2019: Day 16

 Today I draw a female Judge. AGAIN? Yes, another one. This one is Galen DeMarco, who is very much a character with a long story arc which I did not follow because I had stopped reading 2000AD well before then.

And that is why she looks like this.

Next: Things get better again.

Drokktober 2019. Day 14

Today's mission: Favourite Cursed Earth Scene

This was a toughie because Pat Mills' The Cursed Earth - Dredd's first mega epic outside his city, is broad and packed with craziness. Flying rats, mutants carved into Mount Rushmore, Ronald McDonald warring with other fast food icons out in the radioactive desert. And vampire androids nursing the frozen-in-suspension body of Bad Bob Booth, the last President of the United States of America. So that's what I went with - drawing from McMahon's take on Kinski's Nosferatu

Drokktober 2019. Day 13

Today's theme: Mean Machine Angel!

 Fun to draw, and surprisingly quick to do. Happy with this one :)

Drokktober 2019. Day 12

Today's topic: Chief Judge Hershey

Like Rico, Hershey has a 1995 big screen Judge Dredd incarnation as portrayed by Superman's mother from an adopted planet, Martha Kent- I mean, Diane Lane. As Judge Hershey she was okay - but it was Stallone's show, and so Lane gets lost amongst the Ricos, the Angels, Fergie (urhurhrhr) and the Hammerstein war droid. o I gave her a second life - as Chief Judge Hershey in the Karl Urban Dredd-verse. 

Drokktober 2019, Day 11

Day 9 was Cassandra Anderson. Short of time, I cheated a little and submitted this old thing. Day 10 wasn't an illustration challenge. But that gave me time to work on today's entry: Rico Dredd

Dredd's clone brother gone bad, returned from Judicial prison moon Titan (where he's undergone involuntary surgery to survive the oxygen-free environment), and swearing revenge! I've avoided the usual Mick McMahon version in The Return of Rico and instead gone with a 'what if?' The 1995 Judge Dredd also had Joe's bad brother in the form of a set-gnawing Armand Assante. I just gave him the old comic strip Titan makeover...
