Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! 2000AD & Judge Dredd: The Secret History 45th Anniversary Edition

di Pat Mills (Autore)

Millsverse Books, 2019

"Through a minefield of imbeciles and chimps" With his trademark humour and passion, Pat bares his soul and shares his experience of 2000AD in the five years since the Galaxy's Greatest Comic celebrated its 40th birthday. This second edition boasts a special introduction and a new, extended chapter–Tharg's Head Revisited 2–in which Pat explains his reasons for leaving the comic, and ponders on its future. It all began in a garden shed in Scotland in 1971… From the hilarious origins when Judge Dredd writer-creator John Wagner and Pat began their careers writing together in a garden shed by paraffin lamp, to the tragic stories of legendary comic artists who have passed, and the challenges as 2000AD fought for survival against The Suits determined to destroy it, this is a unique, personal, and passionate account by the man who created 2000AD. Hight-octane, anarchic comic rock 'n' roll Everything you've always wanted to know about Judge Dredd, Slaine, Nemesis, ABC Warriors, Flesh, Strontium Dog and more, is in this book. Plus the writers and artists who created them and the real-life people and events they drew on for inspiration. The scandals, the back-stabbing and the shocking story that was regarded as "too sensitive" to ever see the light of day is finally told. Funny, sad, angry, defiant, and outrageous: it's the ultimate Comic Book memoir! "You'll be hard pressed to find a book so revealing."
