Yeah, that's the magic of Gerry Finley Day who, according to Alan Grant, used to send in scripts with scenes like "the guns don't work so Smith opens the cockpit window and shoots at the space ships with his handgun' or Dan Dare reaching into his space suit pocket and pulling out a jack and wrench.
But, as the role call of his credits shows, it was always worth editing out the kinks because the imagination was almost unrivalled.
As to the timeline it gets complicated. Certainly when Pat Mills is writing the scripts the chain is there with the current version of A.B.C. Warriors with it's retro history tyiing in with the modern version of Bill Savage and Hammerstein was their at the start of Mega City One.
However when John Wagners concerned there's no real links and connections because, well, he can't be bothered with all that stuff. He's not gone out of his way to explicitly contradict any of the none Dredd history in the current Origins series but it's bad enough remembering all the stories he's written, less alone make it chime with someone elses.
4 weeks to the Philip Bond covered 30th anniversary progs.
Oh and D.C. don't own the comic, they had a deal to reprint the catalogue for a while.
(Yeah, I'm a cliche) |
