First up, we lost Alan Grant last night and I want to say how sorry we are to hear this, his contribution to comics was immense and we are forever in his debt. His work has meant everything to me…
Hey gang, sad news this morning, Alan Grant unfortunately has passed away, the legendary comic book writer, obviously we know him well from his work on Judge Dredd with John Wagner, his work on Johnny Alfastronium Dog.
Words can barely do justice to his legacy, which is huge, and the loss, which I think is even larger.
And from my perspective, someone who, with John Wagner, just set the baseline for Dread and just was fantastic in all those episodes that they wrote together.
uh were just so good and then you go on you look at um he developed Australian Dog uh with John Wagner and then afterwards and his Judge Anderson work for example and then you look at his Lobo in the 90s like it was just great uh his Batman run I mean it's extensive he's it's a huge run on Batman um that he did um And just so many things, and from all reports, we've had Chuck Dix on the show many times, and I always squeeze Chuck for an Alan Grant story or two, because he just seems like he was such an interesting guy.
He was thinking outside the box, as I think you need to, to have that kind of impact.
And yeah, just a thoroughly entertaining, good-humoured guy.
uh writer um he had a lot of humor and satire and a lot of his stories not all but a lot and yeah i just want to say um we never got the chance to speak on signal of doom many times i spoke of how much his work meant to me and yeah we have to you know rest in peace alan um and we're thinking of um you and your family in this moment and yeah, all we can say is, you know, thank you for all the work that you gave us, and all the, all the joy that you gave people over the years, and I still think those Serenium Dog stories, and those Judge Red stories, they're going to last forever, they're, they're absolutely fantastic, uh, and, you know, I hope if there's a Lobo movie, um, you know, your family gets, uh, significant check and uh and possibly a reference in the movie because i think his work on lobo just in itself um was landmark stuff you know a fantastic writer a fantastic person and uh sorely missed okay rest in peace alan
