From the 2000AD and Megazine world of Judge Dredd – Slick Dickens is a creation of Mega-City writer Truman Kaput.
Slick is a stylish killer, preferring to wear flamboyantly “retro” outfits. Slick Dickens is a master of hand to hand combat and proficient with fire arms. Slick’s arch enemy is Judge Dredd, he always kills, but Dredd keeps miraculously recovering to have another taste of Dickens. At least in print….
The author, Truman, is currently serving time in an ISO-Cube for his malicious writings and with each new imprint of a Slick Dickens novel is confronted and sentenced by Dredd himself. Each time Truman sticks to his defense “I’m a writer, I have to write”.
