Frequently Asked Questions - Hachette Partworks LTD". hachettepartworks.com . Retrieved 22 June 2020.Over the past 45 years, 2000 AD has been a vital comic anthology in the English-speaking world. It’s home to iconic characters, such as Judge Dredd, and has been a breeding ground for celebrated writers and artists. I listed different ways to find 2000 AD in the section above, but there was one method that I didn’t mention. That’s a subscription. You can get your 2000 AD and/or Judge Dredd Megazine fix without leaving the house, with a variety of options to suit your preference. Since its inception, 2000 AD has been a breeding ground for writing and artistic talent. Some have had long careers in the anthology. Others have made big waves internationally – sometimes outside of comics.

The spine incorrectly showed '79' instead of '63', although the number shown correctly inside as '63' (79 was the volume in the previous issue) - the spine picture is also incorrectly showing that of volume 79. The publisher issued a free replacement copy of this volume with issue 81 ("Flesh") Hoagy's all muscly and evil, Cutie (a tiny robot that's basically metal breasts and orifices) magically reforms herself (after having died in 1979, on another planet) because she feels like it (that's the literal explanation) and then Sam and her snog, but his voiceover mysoginistically complains about ugly girls being easy. The writer casts himself as a second Robo-Hunter (that, far in the future, watches MTV and listens to music from 1991). Has the same title as the earlier story from Prog "2000". According to the book's In Detail section, "Morrison has no idea what happened there, and blames it on forgetfulness on the part of writer and editor" Judge Dredd Megazine is the sister comic to 2000 AD. As the name suggests, it focuses on Judge Dredd’s universe with a Dredd strip and many spin-offs. The current run focussed pretty heavily on the Golden Age material, I don't think there's much left from the 200-500 era. We've had comparable little material from Progs 700-1000 but from what I hear that's mostly a good thing. Other than those exceptions I think it's been a fairly even spread across the ages and I hope the extension continues that trend.There's lots of shooting and yelling, forests made of decomposing body parts and another theme park. A murderous Cutie, who can fly now (and always presents as a blonde babe in a red swimsuit), is ripped apart by an cyborg in a comfy sweater, who earlier seemed to have been murdered by being impaled with a golf club (by a gay insectoid S&M fashionista). gaps left then, with at least four that can be filled (Armoured Gideon, Lawless, Kingmaker, and Durham Red) to give us only 11. If Dan Dare makes the cut (we still don't know) I suspect it'll need 2 volumes, so that's a mere 9 unknowns left! You may well see or hear about test volumes appear in newsagents in certain parts of the country over the next month. These tests are being done to see if a series would work and, if the test is successful, there'll be a big national launch at a later date - just like there was with the Mega Collection. It doesn’t have to be! This comprehensive guide will shine a light on everything you need to know about 2000 AD. For a "one-and-done" of its era it is probably one of the stronger ones but it does feel a little dated by modern standards. Pretty well paced with an interesting array of characters. Fortunately it is of a time when Tooth was starting to wake up to the changing sensibilities of its readership. Although there is still an element of 'juvenilia' about it as a story in what was ostensibly a "kids comic", there is also a growing maturity to it.

The one thing that is always constant is Judge Dredd. It will always be present in each prog, traditionally opening the anthology. You can discover if your favourites have any previous tales with these excellent indexes collated by Wikipedia user Richard75. Similar to the hosts in horror comics, Tharg is the consistent voice for 2000 AD. He will introduce readers at the start of every prog and answer fan letters – often throwing in some of his own unique jargon. On the odd occasion, he’ll even star in his own strip.Thanks to Tharg, 2000 AD has built up it’s own unique lingo over the years. Most of it is used by Tharg, although some of it makes its way into marketing material too. yeah having trawled Barney it's not all that hard to get a list of 40 more potential volumes just looking at Prog and Meg stuff.
