The voting booth is open you can cast your vote for your favourite thrills publish in the Galaxy's Greatest comic (ever !!!!).

How does it work?

1. You select your top 20 series which appeared the prog since the legendary first issue published 26 February 1977 up until now (currently that will be prog 2190).

2. The only series not included is Judge Dredd. You can cast your vote for any Dredd-verse series, but our favourite lawman has an unfair advantage.

3. The shorts are all clubbed together so you do not vote for a single Future Shock or Terror Tale but for the whole shebang. The shorts published are: Future Shocks, Past Imperfect, Pulp Sci-Fi, Tales from Beyond Science, Tales of Telguuth, Terror Tales, Tharg's Thrillers, Tharg's Dragon Tales, Time Twisters, Twisted Tales, Vector 13, What If ?.

4. The following series although carrying the same title will be split. For example, Strontium Dog will have all stories featuring Johnny Alpha be clubbed under Strontium Dog (Alpha) and the rest will be clubbed under Strontium Dog (Feral).  Here is the list:
a.   Harlem Heroes (Original) and Harlem Heroes (The Fleisher Years)
b.   Robo-Hunter (Sam) and Robo-Hunter (Samantha)
c.   Rogue Trooper (Friday) and Rogue Trooper (Rogue)
d.   Strontium Dog (Alpha) and Strontium Dog (Feral)

5. We again work with a point system much like the system employed for the "The Rebellion Years Top 10 Series" tournament (except now you have 20 votes).
1 = 25 points
2 = 22 points
3 = 19 points
4 = 17 points
5 = 16 points
6 = 15 points
7 = 14 points
8 = 13 points
9 = 12 points
10 = 11 points
11 = 10 points
12 = 9 points
13 = 8 points
14 = 7 points
15 = 6 points
16 = 5 points
17 = 4 points
18 = 3 points
19 = 2 points
20 = 1 point

6. You can vote as many times as you want but only the last vote counts.
7. I will publish a list of stories below but if I mist a series you can still vote for it the only rule here is that it must have been published in any prog.


How long will the tourney last?

You can cast your vote up until Sunday 2nd of August.

May the best series win

This is going to be fascinating! Many thanks for running it. Now, I just have to get my thinking cap on... Lots of agonising over the top votes will no doubt follow!

Wow! That's a lot of stories and work, well done!

Nice one Broodblik - this is going to be so very difficult!

broodblik

This is quite difficult because how do you fit 25 into 20 ? Because I have so far 25 candidates.

Brilliant! Thanks for this. And I have my twenty- however, getting them in the correct order is proving to be a headache. Space Girls or Counterfeit Girl for number one? I mean, it's an impossible choice.

Should Downlode Tales be considered part of Sinister Dexter rather than a separate thing?
Similarly isn't The Dead Man effectively a Dredd strip but with a different banner stuck on it?

Although I suspect these semantics aren't really going to have a major impact on the vote.

broodblik

I grouped the following three together Night Zero,Beyond Zero and Below Zero because in reality it is the same series featuring the same main character. Downlode Tales is before my return so I am not familiar with the series, you can just as well then vote for Sinister Dexter.

It is not always easy on how to decide which must clubbed together and whom are worthy enough to get their own series. The split of Strontium Dog and Rogue Trooper was no brainer for me. It is complete different characters carrying the same title.

Yep fair. I suspect that's what most would do anyway so I don't think this is actually going to have any real impact on the vote.

The funny thing is, I'd rate The Dead Man over virtually any Dredd strip - it's in my top 3 2000AD stories.
