Mystery IDW Dredd Project?

[Jim_Campbell]

Written and drawn by John McCrea, according to a tweet from John just now...

It was my understanding McCrea's upcoming project was written by Wagner for the prog. Maybe I misunderstood.

Must be something different. He specifically name-checked IDW and said he was writing and drawing.

Nice.

I had a chat with John regarding his 2000AD / Dredd work a few years ago, and he was really enthusiastic about working with IDW again on Dredd (having really enjoyed his stint on Mars Attacks Judge Dredd).
Looks like they finally got round to it (albeit without Al Ewing).

A little more info from FB: whatever it is, it's out March (ish) with an official announcement within the next month.

I'd also seen something he shared on FB for the Prog but more McCrea is always welcome round my way. Has he written anything previously?

Not that I can recall (the wealth of visual gags in Dicks notwithstanding).

Testify. A massively underrated artist with huge range. Be interested to see how he takes to the typing game.

He did script and art for strips in Deadline. If memory serves, it was a character called Carla Allison, with nice, kinetic b&w art.

(It's possible my ageing brain made all this up, or that was the name of somebody I snogged drunkenly in a Glasgow nightclub. Ah well.)

Indeed he did. That would be some of Stevie's favourite art of John's too.

Well- another reason to pick up back issues of Deadline at some stage.

Great! I like his work in progress posts (here's for Wagner's Dredd).

FUN FACTOID! The Carla Allison strip "Stairs" in one issue, a very slight strip with Carla running down some stairs and avoiding slipping on a banana peel, is my first comic book credit as writer.

...and they say all the great plots have already been written :-P

Which issue was it in, so I can check if I have it / dig it out if it's near to hand when I get home?

Wait, what? I loved that story. I thought John did it. Huge apologies!

I photocopied that so I could put the entire story in sequence on my wall.
