Featuring stories celebrating the past present and future of Judge Dredd it weighs in at a mighty 48 pages.<br /><br />First up is a retro tale by Al Ewing and artist Oliver Redding. In the fad crazed Mega City One you can be a victim of fashion as well as a victim of crime – dare you do ‘the Zoove’?<br /><br />In ‘Untouchable’ an old cube inmate reveals a sinister connection to the lives of young cadets Rico and Joe Dredd. Written by Jay Eales with art by Brett Buckle.<br /><br />Mark Pexton provides story and art in a tale of life on the dark side of Mega City One in ‘Letters to Eric’ and we see how Dredd can be as fearsome as he is just to the citizens of the Big Meg.<br /><br />Next we bring you an unseen glimpse into the early life of the Angel Gang in ‘the Hills Have Angel Eyes’. Story and art by Indio with scripting by Al Ewing.<br /><br />Richmond Clements and Paul Martin show us the thin divide between Judge and Perp in ‘the Line’.<br /><br />And Dredd comes face to face with, well, Dredd in the temporally twisted ‘Time Trial’ by Colin J Dinnie and David Gray.<br /><br />All of this wrapped under a sensational cover by fan favourite art droid Boo Cook.<br /><br />30 Years of Hurt is £3.75 (inc p&p).<br />Either paypal to </span><a href="mailto:zarjazcomic@yahoo.co.uk"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#33cc00;">zarjazcomic@yahoo.co.uk</span></a><br /><span style="color:#33cc00;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Or send a cheque (payable to Underfire Comics) to:<br />Zarjaz<br />21 the Lawns<br />Roselands Avenue<br />Eastbourne<br />BN22 8NT</span><br /></span><div></div>Colin J Dinniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061802845207393044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12571508.post-549087713745960852007-08-20T05:29:00.000-07:002007-08-20T05:29:12.021-07:0030 Years of Hurt!<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">For those who simply can’t wait for the next issue of Zarjaz – announcing an all-new one off Zarjaz special. ‘30 Years of Hurt’ is the Judge Dredd 30th Anniversary Special filled with new action packed strips tying into the good Judge’s past, present and future.<br /><br />The cover art is by sensational 2000AD artist Boo Cook!<br /><br />Editor droids had this to say:<br />“We knew we had to do something for the big anniversary year and we thought we would concentrate on ol’ stony face. After all, despite 2000AD being home to hundreds of characters over three decades there is still only one guy you think of first when you think of the galaxy’s greatest. All our contributors stepped up and turned in some fantastic strips and when Boo said he would do the cover we were sure we had a great package.”</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"><br />‘30 Years of Hurt’ will be available from mid- September, up till then you can check back here for some more preview images in the coming weeks.</span>Colin J Dinniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061802845207393044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12571508.post-43530797827052576352007-05-14T13:17:00.000-07:002007-05-14T13:21:33.513-07:00Zarjaz 4 Out Now!<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiidggz7rKjpXVjaJRCN_FfFALLbub2hzfbaPQIRPl3KCqjMhKOECuXduk01uVdhOmLJDu4bUpUk7I_9H-ahaUxIvAmqc-tq7quUclC6zaABsWzF7dMF7QL1nqq8OwembWGN01Jug/s1600-h/z4+stront+image.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064513772425258866" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiidggz7rKjpXVjaJRCN_FfFALLbub2hzfbaPQIRPl3KCqjMhKOECuXduk01uVdhOmLJDu4bUpUk7I_9H-ahaUxIvAmqc-tq7quUclC6zaABsWzF7dMF7QL1nqq8OwembWGN01Jug/s320/z4+stront+image.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#ffff66;">Zarjaz #4 the latest instalment of the Galaxy’s greatest fanzine, is now available.

The space was pretty well laid out for a comic convention, allowing plenty of circulation between the talks, the bar and the two dealer rooms. It was certainly a packed weekend and the organisers are to be congratulated for putting on a show with a lot of variety and a strong indy comics focus.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;">Hopefully this show will continue next year and be able to build its audience as we could certainly use a second ongoing annual convention.</span>Colin J Dinniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061802845207393044noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12571508.post-1165009279825307102006-12-01T12:48:00.000-08:002006-12-01T13:42:38.683-08:00Behind the Page 1<a href="http://static.flickr.com/101/311381654_7c5329d3f4.jpg?v=0"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://static.flickr.com/101/311381654_7c5329d3f4.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#33ffff;">We asked writer Nathan Adler to talk about some of the creative decisions behind his strip Judge Dredd: Floor War from Zarjaz #3.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#33ffff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The idea for this strip was really simple, instead of a Block War you just have two different floors of one block fighting each other and Dredd walks in and sorts it out. I think in the end the strip came off fantastically but a lot of that is to do with Nick Dyer being such a damn fine artist.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">On the original version of this page that Nick drew Dredd had three other judges in tow behind him. Looking at the pencilled page I asked him why this was, since they weren't in the script. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Nick said they had to be there since Dredd was conversing with someone in the captions over the first three panels. In my stupidity I hadn't mentioned in the script that Dredd was on his bike comm talking to the control centre.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Nick re-drew and was able to do this much stronger central image of Dredd.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><a href="http://static.flickr.com/111/311381658_cceb136ab9.jpg?v=0"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://static.flickr.com/111/311381658_cceb136ab9.jpg?v=0" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;">On the second page the very first panel was added in by Nick, he felt that there was too much dead space in stretching the second panel over the whole page. I wasn't sure about adding the extra 'beat' to the start of the page but it gives an interesting pause as Dredd waits for the lift.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I think its cool that if the lift was out Dredd would just climb the shaft. Why didn't he just use the stairs? I don't know. Maybe just because hes a hard ass. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This is the first of two occasions where people just give up to Dredd without a fight. He is such a powerful presence in Mega City 1 that everyday perps like these just arn't going to argue with him.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"></span>Colin J Dinniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061802845207393044noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12571508.post-1165005953181582792006-12-01T12:40:00.000-08:002006-12-01T12:45:53.193-08:00Issue 3 - in the clear<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;">Fantastic news for Squaxx everywhere - our printing problems are over and Zarjaz 3 is now on its way to stores across the UK. </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;">Of course many still choose to get their thrills direct by mail order from as far away as the US, Finland and most recently Greece!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#cc33cc;">Now if only NASA would agree to help deliver our intergalactic orders!</span>Colin J Dinniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061802845207393044noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12571508.post-1163029490405249542006-11-08T15:35:00.000-08:002006-11-08T15:44:50.416-08:00Nightmare at the Printers!<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">We have discovered that a printing error has blighted the Zarjaz 3 print run.

It seems that it is.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#00cccc;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#00cccc;">I can only hope it has brought new Squaxx to my humble page and that you will be of the noble disposition to purchase my papery offering.
