Umm, It is actually for issue 11, 9 has a Dredd cover, 10 will feature a 24 page strip giving a spin to a Clssic strip, so the ABC issue will be 11- which is why I'm not too worried as yet.
Hi Lordship is right about having a couple of Strips locked in- Joe has gone, Ro-Jaws and Hammerstein are strapped in and we've scripts for Mongrol and Steelhorn in the pipeline as well and a pitch for Blackblood.
So if anyone fancies pitching for Deadlock or any of the many 7th Warriors we have had, I'll put 'em in the files for reading.
We've already gotten a cracking Hammerstein strip that is likely to see print BEFORE the special.
