Last year, Matthew Badham interviewed Christian Dunn, ex-editor of Warhammer Monthly, for an article about the comic published in the Judge Dredd Megazine.
Although he used several quotes from Christian in the finished article, there was still a lot of material from his interview left unused. It seemed a shame to waste his answers and so, with Christian’s consent, we’ve finally (with apologies to both Matthew and Christian for the delay) posted those unused answers here on downthetubes.
