    THE writers of the legendary lawman Judge Dredd have caused a stir among fans by suggesting he might be gay.

    The latest edition of the comic 2000 AD is titled Closet and deals with the issue of a teenager coming out.

    The first page has been released on the internet and apparently shows Dredd - a judge/policeman form the future - kissing the youth in a gay club.

    Reaction to the teaser, which was released online last month, has been mixed, with some fans so hostile to the idea they have threatened to burn the comic.

    A spokesman said: "We have had quite an extreme reaction.

    "Dredd has always been satirical, while touching on serious issues. This is another example of this."

    There is a twist in the tale, with all not being as it seems, the spokesman said.

    Writer Rob Williams said Dredd's sexuality - whatever it is - was buried beneath his love for the law.

    Phew! ;)

    BleedingCool have the page in question here, for those who want to see it.

    Could be a fun story, although of course that will never stop people with no sense of proportion (or their own ridiculousness) from throwing an epic wobbly on the internet about a fictional character :rolleyes:

    Repressed to the point of asexuality.
    Comic showed a guy in a Dredd costume snogging another man.

    Romance really isn't a priority for Dredd, I don't see how it affects the character.

    That classic quote "gaze into the fist of Dredd" springs to mind, for some reason ;)
