One of the pleasures of Rebellion, the UK publishers of comics 2000AD and The Judge Dredd Megazine, has been its willingness to break boundaries. In this case a little late in the day but as far as memory and some superficial internet research can be trusted I believe this is the first time they have used a female artist for one of their stories. The latest edition of the Megazine introduces illustrator Fay Dalton. Fay Dalton has the cover and two pages ( two pages?) of the new Reaper Files series. Difficult to tell from the little presented whether the story is anything to celebrate but a woman in mainstream comics is.
