It;s the same format as a;; those "Mysterious Island"." Warlords of Atlantis" and "Forbidden Planet" themes possibly pre-cursored by Ron E Howard's Conan adventures.

QuoteThey must be running pretty low on potential material

Are you kidding? 1700+ issues at an average of 5 or 6 stories per issue? They aren't short on material, just on taste...  ;)

Mind you, I wouldn't mind if they reprinted a couple of things from Starlord, now that somebody has mentioned it. Mind Wars was actually pretty good for the '70s, and if they can get away with a Meltdown Man or Blackhawk or Harry 20 graphic novel then there should definitely be a market for Mind Wars. (A proper graphic novel I mean, it's too long for the Megazine supplements, 21 episodes I think.) I think it would still stand up today - plenty of violence, a decent plot for the age group it was aimed at, and some sterling Jesus Redondo art when he was at his prime.

there is absolutely LOADS of material. 100s of excellent Future Shocks / Terror / Twisters etc, Sooner or Later, Universal Solider,Tao De Moto, Moon Runners, a collected Hap Hazzard, The Clown, Bradley, plus I wouldn't be surprised if non-GN stuff from 5-6 years ago starts cropping up - Synnamon, American Gothic, A.H.A.B, Avatar etc.

If they have decided they are no going to do more collected Lobster Random and Red Seas then I'd love to see those in the floppies. Since Harry Kipling is coming up soon its clear more recent stuff is up for grabs.

Rebellion should pump some strong recent material (from both Meg and Prog) in to the floppies to capitalise on the US Barnes & Nobel push.

That list kinda hints at running out of material to me sorry. Now if you had said Armoured Gideon I'd be with you all the way.

Universal Solider, Tao De Moto and Moon Runners have great art, Hap Hazzard is Steve Dillon so there's a whole heap of fans for that, Bradley and The Clown I never liked but clearly SOME people liked Bradley as it would never not be in the Fxxking prog.

Armoured Giddeon wasn't my cup of tea, just never liked the rubber-faced humans and inking style of Simon Jacob.

Sooner or Later, thats what we want gang, right?

This.  Along with Sin/Dex if there aint going to be any more GNs.  Plus things like Vector 13, Darkness Visible Vanguard (a promising series IMHO), Black Light, and also the Young Middenface series from the Meg (unless they give that a proper GN [please])

OK, here's my brief wish list:

Janus, Psi-Division (I've mentioned this before, but c'mon, unreprinted Grant Morrison!)
Sooner or Later (Brendan McCarthy, Jamie Hewlett, has never been decently reproduced)
The Rian Hughes episodes of Robo-Hunter
Pandora (super-crazy John Hicklenton black-and-white artwork)
I Was a Teenage Tax Consultant (creator-owned, but hey, if the Meg can reprint Armageddon...)
Karyn: Psi Division (really nice b/w artwork)
I wouldn't mind a couple of collections of Gordon Rennie's Dredd stuff, either--"Blood Trails" etc.

 I'd got fond memories of Death Planet, chiefly of pantomime villainess Zeena Dra Gornik (what a name) and Lopez's super art, so I was really looking forward to this blast from the past. Unfortunately, when I opened my 'floppy', I was disapointed to discover that the droid responsible for stapling it together had assembled it in the wrong order. This made it virtually unreadable  :(  It's a shame that Brian Lewis's cover wasn't reproduced (properly) too.
I never thought much of the concept of Angel, a poor man's M.A.C.H.1 at best. Though, I was a fan of Carlos Pino and his art still looks great after all these years.
