I was disheartened by previous comments and considered abandoning these Robin posts, but I decided to stick with them. Or was it just me being contrary? You decide. (See also: My Guy Gardner posts.)

shakalooloo2022 took from us a number of comic creators, and in last month's Xmas issue of 2000ad there were tributes to two of them, one intentional, the other sadly coincidental.
Both artist Kevin o'Neill and writer Alan Grant both contributed to many different series for many different publishers, but rose to their fame through 2000ad. O'Neill's final work was art for a light-hearted story written by none other than Garth Ennis (!), proving that the artist was still at the top of his game, and will be missed.
The second story was written after Grant's passing, and pay tribute to the influence he had on so many characters, those that he created and those he merely worked on, and his continuing theme of rebellion. Again, gone too soon.

Psi-Judge Anderson in: "Satan"
Jul. 22nd, 2022 03:23 pmshakaloolooAlan Grant deals with the theme of Evil Incarnate, ably illustrated by Arthur Ranson. 19 pages from a story of 57, so unfortunately many, many pages vistas of Satanic majesty omitted, but then this is for the writing, not the art, so let's just cut to Anderson following in the footsteps of all those famous figures that managed to challenge and outwit the Devil -
Sorry! My mistake. Anyway, the story also ends with perhaps the most compassionate little speech Judge Dredd will ever make.

In Memoriam - Alan Grant
Jul. 21st, 2022 01:14 pmicon_ukI'm sad to report that Scottish writer Alan Grant, known for his work on for 2000AD, DC and Marvel and perhaps best known for his writing of Batman in the 80's and 90's has died at 73, after a long illness.
Though not there at the very start of 2000AD, he (along with long time writing partner, John Wagner) soon helped shape characters who would be known for decades to follow: Strontium Dog, Robo Hunter, Judge Anderson, oh and that Dredd fellow too of course.
As writer for Detective Comics he had a long run in the 80's and 90's notable for introducing some now classic villains, like Scarface and the Ventriloquist and Mr Zsasz, anti-heroes like Anarky, and was one of the first writers of Tim Drake's Robin.
For DC he also gave Lobo his first miniseries and had a long run on a revival of The Demon, and wrote The Punisher for Marvel.
He was also widely known for being encouraging and supportive to new creators in the field, who encouraged new talent and offering them opportunities.
I know I speak for the other Mod's and the scans_daily community when I offer our sincere condolences to his partner, family and friends.
