Not essential, but still good.By MJP2I originally read the "Cursed Earth" series in JUDGE DREDD: THE COMPLETE CASE FILES Vol. 2. I noticed then that some of the chapters were missing. I assumed that perhaps English comics had lower thresholds when it came to nudity and sex, so maybe the more racier chapters were clipped for the American market. So when I heard that there was an "uncensored" version of "Cursed Earth" coming out, I was curious to see what I'd missed.Well, it turns out I was totally mistaken about why the chapters were pulled. It turns out the chapters were guilty of offending *corporate* sensibilities, not prudish sensibilities. The missing chapters contain references to and trademarked characters of burger chains and all sorts of household product brands, and these chapters drew the ire of the corporations who owned the trademarks. Apparently bygones are bygones now, so the offending chapters can finally be published.

  • The Drink Tank262 - Ireland Travelling to Ireland and Not Wanting to Leave
    The Drink Tank262 - Ireland Travelling to Ireland and not wanting to leave. By James Bacon Could not be easier. The time is good for the cheap fare offers, with Ryan Air bringing prices down with their competitors. To Dublin, it’s a choice, Ryan Air, BMI and then Aerlingus, with Aer Lingus frequently doing the best deal. It pays to shop around. As I write this piece, a flight to Dublin on the Friday before WexWorlds is just £39. While flights to Octocon, from Manchester or London Gatwick were £39 all included, although you have 10kilos of carry on, and that’s it. And use the loo before you go. To be honest for all the mirth and mockery, O’Leary does what he says, it’s cheap and if you plan a bit, you can find good deals, from Dublin Airport is a Bus and Train, and if you plan it cleverly, you can be on the quays, enjoying a pint in the afternoon, the glow of a heater keeping off the chill, after leaving home in the morning. I recently travelled home from London using sail and rail. The 9.10 Virgin trains service from London Euston goes directly to Holyhead. It’s a very pleasant journey. They stick on a ten car unit as far as Chester, so there is ample space, and there is nothing nicer than a plug, a table and the feeling that a coffee or loo is not a mission, but just there. It’s quite an old fashioned way to travel, yet there is something sedate about it.

John Wagner (born in the United States in 1949 but raised in Scotland from the age of 12 after his mother moved back there) is arguably one of the most significant British comics writers of his time, and was, along with Pat Mills, partly responsible for revitalizing the ailing British comics industry in the 1970s with his work on the then newly launched Battle Picture Weekly (for which he wrote Darkie's Mob ) and 2000 AD (for which he has co-created numerous characters and strips including Robo-Hunter , Button Man and, most famously, Judge Dredd ). He also co- created Strontium Dog for Starlord (the character later became a mainstay of 2000 AD ) and wrote for Eagle (for which he created Doomlord, Dolebusters and Detective Zed ), Scream! , Tammy and Roy of the Rovers (all for IPC), and edited both Tammy and Valiant (for which he created One-Eyed Jack).
