Talk:Judge Dredd

I removed the following passage about The Dead Man storyline due to the spoiler content. It is good stuff however, and IMO should be included in the entry somehow. I thought about adding the spoiler warning right before this line, but that would've been silly (see the diff between my edit and last). Any ideas? Warning: Wikipedia contains spoilers
- His entire face is never shown in the strip (however, in the story The Dead Man, a prequel to the 1991 Necropolis epic, a badly acid scarred Dredd, minus helmet, is depicted throughout the story, although his identity is not revealed until the final episode's denounment).

Why have many of the links been removed from this article? Surely the Dredd mythos is as deserving of encylopedic attention as any other fictional universe, eg, Lord of the Rings?? Can we have the links back please! quercus robur
- Well, if someone's prepared to actually give the Dredd mythos the attention, then there's some point to the links; but otherwise it's silly to have all those links to non-existant articles.
(NB: I'm not the one whole removed all the links, but I have some sympathy with the motivation I attribute to the person who did.) — Paul A 00:45 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is full of links to not yet existant articles, that surely is the whole point of the project??? quercus robur 16:25 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- Ps, I've made a start by listing what are some of the most significant Dredd stories. Many of these link to not yet existant pages that will hopefully get fleshed out in time quercus robur 21:05 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I'm sure I heard somewhere that Mills, Wagner et al. were partially inspired by Plato's Republic when creating the Judge system - there certainly are a lot of similarities between the two. If this is true it should certainly be mentioned.
I added this link:
- Archive of Rebellion web page (http://web.archive.org/web/20040217010931/http://www.rebellion.co.uk/index.html)
but it doesn't work. I intended to add a link to Rebellion.co.uk, but their web site is no longer available, so I included a link to the web.archive.org version. Are links to web.archive.org acceptable in this kind of case, and how do I get them to work? Phil Hibbs 19:25 Aug 17, 2004 (UTC)
Satire
This article seems to be missing the key fact about the comic — that it is a satire. Mostly savage, often funny, always grotesque, but wholly satirical. Gdr 21:16, 2005 Apr 18 (UTC)
