Just on a Sunday afternoon stroll through the wilds of ebay and noticed two buy-it-now sales for this at a pretty good price:

I should point out I'm not selling them, and haven't bought from these sellers, but I do have the comic and it's a recommended read - one of the only (?) instances of characters from many different British comics companies appearing together, from Beano to Viz (via 2000AD of course), with as many different contributors too.  This seemed really special when it came out, and so far seems unique.

Good luck if you go for it!

Yeah, I have a copy - bit of a backstory about why it didn't get reprinted because of restrictions from DC.

They managed to get this in as well.

Cheers for the heads up!  :thumbsup:

Never read this before, though have vague memories of its' existence!

How is Dredd handled in the comic?

Worth a read?

Dredd's a couple of pages, just cameos all round for the comic characters for the most part.

Main story is a Christmas Carol type affair with a modern Blackadder type character.
