If I was a pompous twat Id say ironically, I write to you from Greece, one of the nine countries Heavy Metal Dredd was printed in. But I particularly remember the Greek version because the speech balloons and panels in Greek looked a bit special on the page.
Heavy Metal Dredd was first printed in international glossy music mag Rock Power, which successfully spanned the globe. As a result, so did Dredd. He had unprecedented exposure, then a final outing in the UK within the pages of Judge Dredd Megazine. My first story debuted Meg issue 19 were going back a while.
Simon Bisley was just landing from a punishing work load on Sline, The Horned God, followed by Batman vs. Dredd tale Judgement on Gotham. David Bishop was editing the Meg at the time but it was Steve McManus who gave me the call to arms: Heavy Metal Dredd, no limits, a separate and aggressive Dredd world that gets the point across. Check the first Biz story in this collection to see what he meant!
I love Biz; the man and the artist. Theres no difference between the two for me, so lets talk about his art. When Simon first started out I was working on Nemesis Book 7, The Two Torquemadas. I was rocked when I first saw his black & white ABC Warriors artwork. Then KOd by Sline, The Horned God. Ill admit I was secretly gutted but became an immediate fan of Simons, and still am.
Its no coincidence that Im collaborating with Clint Langley on the cover for this book, because he felt exactly the same way. To add to my pain I visited Simons house for a couple of days and saw the original artwork for The Horned God. On my way home I remember thinking
so, how do you design kitchens again? However, in typical Biz style, he helped me back up. He wanted a very twisted A2 study of Batman in return he gave me a few pointers on colour work. As did Glenn Fabry, which I still use on one shots to this day.
But at the time I needed a colourist, so I found Keith Page, who did a fine job. With John Wagner, Alan Grant and John Smith in the mix, that was the squad. Jim Alexander and Alison Potter also contributed as script writers. Lettered by the late, great Tom Frame.
As Ive said, this was not meant for the Dredd universe and these great writers went out on a limb. A violent limb at that, a bit like shaking their muscles loose after a good fight. You be the judge. It was unselfconscious work with funny, unpredictable and brutal scripts. When it was finally published in JD Megazine, David Bishop fielded a years worth of complaints. Man, the UK readers were pissed off! Eventually, Dave called a halt to the proceedings, which became known on the letters page as the violence debate. He dubbed it an over-flipped coin. He was right.
I dont know what todays fans will think. A few boos from the gallery? Good. Enjoy this book Rebellion and Jon Oliver are doing a great job archiving the work in 2000 AD and the Meg. They must be, otherwise I guess I wouldnt be writing this.
Senior Street Judge Dredd. Pick Up Your Teeth Dredd. Heavy Metal Dredd.

SIMON BISLEYSimon Bisley occupies an almost unique place in 2000 AD history as one of the first UK artists to popularise the fully painted style pioneered by Argentinian artist Alberto Brecchia. His highly dynamic artwork made his two major series in the Galaxys Greatest Comic A.B.C. Warriors: The Black Hole and Sline: The Horned God very popular, as they remain to date. He also illustrated Heavy Metal Dredd in the Megazine, an ultra-graphic, adults-only take on the lawman, before going on to paint the hugely successful first Batman/Judge Dredd crossover story Judgement on Gotham. Bisley has provided countless pin-ups and short pieces across an astonishing variety of comics, from legendary fantasy anthology Heavy Metal to anarchic DC superhero series Lobo, and has an even more extensive CV in Europe, where his
painted style enjoys enormous success.
JOHN HICKLENTONJohn Hicklenton has illustrated a wide range of strips across both 2000 AD and the Megazine, including Heavy Metal Dredd, Judge Dredd, Mean Machine, Nemesis the Warlock, Pandora, Rogue Trooper, Strange Cases and Thargs Future Shocks. His work can also be seen in Crisis! and Deadline. Most recently he has provided the art for Blood of Satanus III
in Judge Dredd Megazine and has worked with Pat Mills on Zombie World.
BRENDAN McCARTHYBrendan McCarthy was a key early artist for 2000 AD, and designed Zenith with Grant Morrison, and many of the perennially popular ABC Warriors with Pat Mills (and others). He also illustrated Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, and Thargs
Future Shocks.McCarthys non-2000 AD work includes Skin in Crisis, Strange Days, Paradox!, Freakwave in Vanguard Illustrated and
work for Revolver.
COLIN MACNEILSince joining 2000 AD in 1986 Colin MacNeil has worked on many strips, including Chopper Song of the Surfer and the infamous death of Johnny Alpha in Strontium Dog The Final Solution. He went on to collaborate with John Wagner on the award winning Judge Dredd America for the Judge Dredd Megazine. He has also worked on Shimura, Maelstrom and Fiends of the Eastern Front Stalingrad. Most recently working on Judge Dredd Total War, Cadet, Mutants in Mega-City One and Emphatically Evil: The Life and Crimes of P J Maybe. He also provided the atmospheric artwork on Bloodquest for
Games Workshop. He also enjoys creating large abstract paintings. He says its art therapy!
