My familiarity with 2000 AD is pretty minimal, but I certainly enjoyed Stranger Than Truth. The story is fun and over-the-top, as Slick Dickens works his way through everyone who’s ever offended him: his editor, literary critics, fanfiction writers, and Judge Dredd himself. His crimes are committed quite preposterously, and there are a lot of references to literary theory-- I was not expecting a reference to Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish in a story like this! As an academic myself, I appreciated the in-jokes at the expense of the academic and literary world. I think the discussion of fanfiction was my favorite part.
To this 2000 AD neophyte Stranger Than Truth was a load of fun, and it promises well for Big Finish’s new line. How could you not like a story where one of the characters claims to have replaced the literary canon with a "literary six-shooter"?
