Thanks to a sterling effort by The Cosh, BARNEY (http://www.2000ad.org/) is not only back up to date for the progs and megs, but some of the more recent graphic novels have been added too (mostly the Judge Dredd case files).
Hopefully I'll be able to do some more work on the site over the summer and autumn before I get busy again next winter.
Well done Cosh

Nice one. BARNEY is invaluable.
Hats off to Cosh that is mighty fine to hear
I love Barney.
If any help is needed I've got OCD lists up to the eyeballs - HOORAY!

These updates are always welcome. Though it seems the Graphic Novel section is rather out of date (and could use a whole new section for Simon & Schuster editions.) Anything I could do to help?
Does anyone have a proper list for of the S&S editions?
This is what I have so far;
Judge Dredd - The Complete Case Files 01
The Complete D.R. & Quinch
Death Lives
ABC Warriors: The Meknificent Seven
Harry 20 on the High Rock
Judge Dredd - Mega City Masters
The Ballard of Halo Jones
The Complete Nemesis the Warlock - Volume 1
Judge Dredd - Mega City Masters - Volume 02
Zombo
Slaine - Warriors Dawn
Hewligan's Haircut
Judge Dredd - The Complete Case Files 02
The Complete Bad Company
Judge Dredd - Mega City Masters - Volume 03
Lenny Zero
I don't think the last two have been published yet.

The obvious answer is Simon and Schuster do, most recent first:

There is one here too, I didn't stumble across it until the other day despite there being quite an obvious link on the front page ;) :

Just a nudge/reminder to say the 2 most recent Nikolai Dante trades are missing their covers.

Ah yes. This is most likely due to me not actually bothering to tell Wake I'd updated the reprint details.

I hope you remembered to include the "Extras" in your plan.
And it is all updated now, as are the progs and megs - good stuff everyone.
Just a few other things I noticed - Dogbreath 17 is missing its cover and both Zarjaz and Dogbreath could do with updating too (see if there is a way you can slot in the Zarjaz Presents: Dark Judgement somewhere too), I'm sure the chaps can sort you out with that. While we are on the fanzines, it'd be nice to also include Nu-Earth and Tales From the Emerald Isle, I've already indexed them on the comicbookdb so you can take the details from there if it saves time:

Thanks. I've just updated these. Is Perp Watch definitely Mark Millar, not Alan McKenzie?
Good question - the daily star credits are somewhat...fluid. The previous story was by McKenzie and Smith, and the first part of this story was credited to the same. The second part changes the credit to McKenzie and Pino.
However, McKenzie stories were almost all with SMith as artist, and having now read the rest of the story, it seems pretty Millarish to me! Orlok might have more of an idea of they updated the credit to show Millar later in the run - i only have credits for the first 6-7 parts
Big congrats to all those keeping Barney alive - its easily my favourite 2000ad related site (present company excepted, naturally) noticed a couple of edits for Barney -
Prog 32-33 has a future shock called 'Excursion' which is 4 pages in total (over 2 progs, 2 pages each) whereas Barney lists it as 8 pages in total.
Prog 6 has a Harlem Heroes Scan that is by O'Neil - un-credited in Barney.
Aren't the dates for Marked for Death wrong? 18/03 perhaps?

(I seriously considered deleting this post as soon as I finished typing it, since the alluded-to incident really, really wasn't nice. Mods feel free to do so if it seems inappropriate.
I mean, a
papier maché head...
I thought I'd posted these before, but I have a horrible suspicion I found them and then got distracted by a shiny... ooo look. Anyway:
Correcting some Brendan McCarthy credits:
"The Witness" prog 500 (but not 501) - art is credited to McCarthy/Whittaker - no credits for a Whittaker elsewhere but they also get an art credit (as "Whitaker") in "Oz" part 8 prog 552.
It was Mike McMahon who drew ABC Warriors story in prog 129, not McCarthy.
Future Shocks: Bad Maxwell in prog 402 is credited to a J. Roberts, not McCarthy (unless it is a pseudonym).
Also, if it helps, the Wagner/Grant McCarthy Dredds are creditted to T.B. Grover down to and including "Atlantis" and before that the John Wagner solo ones are credited to John Howard).
Is this the place where we point out Errors? Prog 1755 (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=profiles&choice=1755) is missing a listing for the Bob Byron Twisted Tale that appears within. Just thought I'd point that out.
Thanks to Orlok of this parish, I have a few more updates for the Daily Star Dredds - this time, the one off Saturday strips:
All titles provided by Orlok himself!
226 - Christmas Carol
227 - Hogmanay
228 - Diggers
229 - Mega Fried General
230 - 5th Assessment
231 - Queue
237 - A Princely Error (swap with 241 School for high flyers
257 - Spotty
261 - Leaper (theres alreasy a "The Leaper", but it seems the best fit - the alternative "I bet" has also already been used!)
263 - Tourist Trap - Art by John Higgins!
264 - Beggar -Art by Brett Ewins
265 - Wedding Vows - Ian Gibson from now on with one exception:
268 - Follower - Art by Steve Dillon!
276 - sadly this is unknown, as "How the other half lives" is actually 278
279 - Christmas Dinner
I also have my suspicions that a couple of strips may have been recycled - Christmas Pardon is number 70 on the copy i have, but was listed as 123 ( a whole year after) when reprinted in the Meg - its possible they filled in a week with it - its a bit of a coincidence otherwise!
A quick correction:
Harlem Heroes: Cyborg Death Trip - inks Stewart Johnson (931-932) and Siku (933-939)
Kev Hopgood gets solo art credit for prog 928-930, so you'd presumably need:
QuoteArtist: Kev Hopgood (pencils), Kev Hopgood (inks, 928-930), Stewart Johnson (inks , 931-932) and Siku (inks , 933-939)
What would it take to get GN listings up to date on the Barney site? I'm noticing the Graphic Novel listings are woefully out of date, and would like to help where I can to get the listings up to current. I'd also like to see a Simon & Schuster section, as that line of books seems to be growing rapidly. If I compliled a list and a list of contents, and maybe some cover scans, would it possible to get them included on the site? I'm not sure who's running it these days.
Also, and I can't help with this one because I don't have copies, can we get some Meg suplement GNs scans for Megazines 302 to present? As they are MIA.

I can help too (up to A3 scans, contents ..) especially with Pat Mills related paperbacks.
During the clearance sale I've put my hand on some Extreme edition. It seems the credits for M.A.C.H.1 in #6 doesn't fully match Barney's database. For example, script for 2000AD #2 and 13 are credited to Pat Mills in Extreme edition. Plus, in Barney's database for Extreme Edition #6, the story Airship (prog #13) is not listed (I have the magazine in my hand and it is in).
Also, in Barney's database prog 2011 the Sláine thrill is not credited,
Barney seems to be missing some starscans in the 840, 950 and 970 region as well as some scattered ones (and Liam Sharp's recent ABC Warriors, some of which don't have a placeholder):

It should be easy enough to correct this, where would one send the images too?

If no one has contacted you then PM Wake and Cosh - they'll be able to sort it out.
Damn... I have given my scanner to an young scholar to help him for his studies...
I have some issues in these regions...
I can not afford to buy a new scan (huge budget cuts in my hobbies... :( )

One other small error I noticed in the character profiles: Roffman is credited as having appeared in The Cal Files, but it was actually in Beyond the Call of Duty (progs 1101-1110) and Scorpion Dance (1125-32) that he made his first appearances.

If this is the place to point out corrections and omissions, I'd just like to add: In the Judge Dredd Yearbook 1994, the Mean Machine story 'Judgement on Gosham' by Wagner and McMahon is not included. Thank you.
I'm also a big fan of the site, I noticed the 1993 Judge Dredd Mega-Special entry seems to be missing a load stories (and I'd like to see the reverse cover shown like has been done elsewhere). :)
The entry for 2000AD PROG 1566's Time Twister 'Back to the Fuhrer' needs correcting it appears to have come out as some kinda computer code.
Barney is missing the Indigo Prime episodes from progs 1760-63.
The Cosh, I can't even tell you how insanely useful BARNEY is. Thank you so much for doing it.

Done.
Perversely that's a relief. I always thought it was but there was so much debate. I still think it looks like Robin Smith did some work on Dredd's upper body.
Yeah, the hand and Dredd uniform bits, as well as the perps collar scream Robin Smith - given he was putting the covers together at this point, I dont doubt he's tinkered there
As both Dave Gibbons and Mick McMahon have confirmed it, the Angel Gang pin-up from Prog 196 should be credited to them and not Cam Kennedy. (McMahon pencils, Gibbons inks).

Robin Smith designed a heck of a lot of classic covers – which the artists tend to be given all the credit for. His influence on 2000AD should not be underestimated.
Don't know if that question has ever been address: in Barney's database for JD CCF #1 the bonus strips are not listed (i.e. The First Dredd and Walter the Wobot strips). Is it because the first print didn't include them? (I own the third print)

While BARNEY is severely lacking on the recent spate of graphic novels, the original stories are there:
Eurocrash 13 episodes (Progs 1127 to 1139) 87 pages
Script: Dan Abnett, Artist: Simon Davis
Money Shots 2 episodes (Progs 1227 to 1228)
Script: Dan Abnett, Artist: Andy Clarke, Colour: Chris Blythe
For both you have to select thrills 51-100
Right. But I meant the actual contents of the graphic novels of the same names. I was trying to figure out where the second story of Downlode Tales Volume 3 was located in the currently existing reprint chronology.
I managed to figure it out on my own, but I was disappointed to see the database out of date on such older reprint collections.
I've mentioned it before but I'd be willing to contribute Barney content if it was at all possible. Meg reprint floppy covers, missing UK trades, US S&S trades and contents, etc...
There are some Slaine covers missing. There are two of them I think. The ones just featuring Ukko on the cover.

So, that where they got to.........I made a Slaine cover screen-saver for my computer and it was always incomplete for those two or three Ukko covers.
Thanks.
There seems to be a glitch with the variant covers for Meg 211... http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=megprofiles&choice=211
Is Barney glitching for everyone else? When I click on the collecting original art link I just get a long list of errors... :(
Recently was able to use Barney to note a couple of free gifts I was missing in the earlier issues, but noted that the info ends with 1771. The Meagazine is more up to date, but ends at 347, with no pic of the free gifts back as far as 302. If I gathered up the relevant info, how would it be added to the files, by The Cosh, or uploaded in a wickipedia type fashion of which I am currently unaware?
Its been quite a while since Barney's been updated. Which is sad because it's still the best 2000 AD resource on the web. Is there any chance of an expected future update to bring things up to date? I once again offer my services to maintaining the database to whomever is in charge of it.

As it happens, a fairly sizable update has been primed for action over the past couple of weeks, but I believe the Gatekeeper has been busy with other things so it awaits his return.
The update cycle seems to have been an unwitting victim of my digital migration. When I have a pile of Progs lying there I tend to reread and catalogue them before sticking them in the box at the end of each set of stories. I find it's easier to let the backlog build up when I can't actually see it.
Should hopefully get a bunch of GNs in along with this year's Progs and Megs and maybe some exciting additional extras.
NB Yes, I did just indirectly refer to myself as the Keymaster. No point arguing unless you're a God.
Hope this is the right place...
With the aid of the 2000 AD Review Page on Face Book, we've identified the currently unknown cover artist of prog 119 as Battlestar Galactica concept artist Dan Goozee.
That's great news that Barney is more updated. I've used it quite a lot over the years to check on old stories and the favourite covers I want to see again.
Any news of when another update is likely to take place?
Aye, I miss Barney being updated. I've not got much programming experience (to any real degree, I haven't even formatted a website before) but i'm happy to help if it's needed.

cover browser link (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=covers&page=progs&MaxProg=2000&FirstProg=1960&LastProg=2000)
From where I am:
"1970 Strontium Dog Jon Davis-Hunt" is a broken image ref
"1979 Sláine Simon Davis" (and any other references to the warped one) has strange formatting on the name Sláine (though this could just be my browser / operating system settings or something else that isn't worth the amount of effort it might take to fix)
"1995 Black Shuck Jon Davis-Hunt" is clearly Anderson, Psi-Division, not Black Shuck
Just so that I'm not just quibbling, great work on updating the best 2000AD reference on the web :-)
Also have the same Slaine formating issue (Chrome browser)
For some reason in the Tharg 3rillers list, Commercial Break says '2 Episodes' instead of '3'
http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=thrill&page=profiles&Comic=2000AD&choice=3RILLERS
On the updates issue, would it help if we posted contents/creator details and cover scans here every week, or is it the coding side of things that cuts into the time The Cosh can devote to cycling and hipster cultural pursuits?
What format would the code be needed in, anyway? Some sort of SQL / XML / CSV / other mark-up thing?

This one always drives me bonkers when I do it. Either I've mistyped the name of the file (even a single character different can throw it) or I've misnamed it in the database. Generally an easy fix, just checking the SQL or the image name.
Thanks for the corrections. I've updated the ones I can and will pass on the broken link. I also get the Slaine formatting issue.

For the Progs and Megs, the offer's appreciated but it wouldn't really help much. There's not really any coding to it. It's just collating the data, doing some lookups against the strip and droid names then getting Wake to fix my mistakes after they're loaded.
I even wrote a script to pull the covers out of my digital Progs so it's more about apathy. I'd like to get back on the old schedule of an update at the end of the standard 10/12 Prog run of stories but we'll see how that goes.
On the other hand, if anyone can point me in the direction of contents and cover scans for the Mega Collection, that would be very helpful as I don't buy them.
Hats and anything else you want off to you sir.
This is possibly not the right place to point this out, but... The title of the Future Shock in Prog 1872 is 'The Modular War' not 'Connection Lost' (which is text appearing on a screen shown in the first panel).
Pat Mills & Clint Langley's Earthside 8/Alternity (https://forums.2000ad.com/index.php?topic=29742.0) reject, Dinosty, isn't on Barney (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=thrill&page=index)'s list of 2000ad creator-owned strips.
Mills drops that bomb here (https://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/d/4/8/d48162129777f39b/Ep78-ECBT2000ad-PatMills2.mp3?c_id=4324949&cs_id=4324949&destination_id=48889&expiration=1558536237&hwt=ed1e6ef3bdaa5560522ac9c947c36fa6) (1h 18m 50s), but, frustratingly, doesn't explain how that happened.
It's interesting to note how many creator-owned strips Tharg has published over the years, even if the news some of them were creator-owned came as a surprise. *

* Terrameks is missing from that list, too.
American Reaper is also missing from that list...
We need to rename this thread to GIVE COSH A HARD TIME.
Dinosty is listed under the separate heading "Pat Mills Creations" and unfortunately the categorisation is 1:1 rather than 1:n.
American Reaper is definitely missing though.

Sorry to hear about your relationship difficulties *
* see what I did there? ;)
Shouldn't Scarlet Traces be moved out of creator owned now?

Ian Edginton did not write Thislebone it was TC Eglington
You are correct - and there is an error on Barney (and insufficient coffee in my system):
Is there a good way to report such things to those with admin rights?
Hey guys!
Realm of the Damned isn't creator-owned, sadly. It was custom work-for-hire for the publisher. Rebellion licensed the reprint from them.
Barney's awesome! Keep up the great work!

Cheers. Will try to get this updated shortly.
'The Fall of Deadworld' is annoyingly hard to find on Barney, as it's incorrectly listed as 'Tainted' (which was just the name of the first story) and that first story is instead listed as 'The Fall of Deadworld.'
The naming conventions on the entire Deadworld saga have been tricky to track. Superbly creative, but difficult to track. Whilst I don't want to push the Dark Judges into my A-Z just yet (work in progress), I do have some info for you:
Dreams of Deadworld
Fire 1946
Mortis 1947
Fear 1948
Death 1949
The Fall of Deadworld
Tainted 1973-1981
Winter Break 2011
Cursed 2023-2033
Home 2050
Ava 2061
Damned 2081-2092
Running Scared 2111
Doomed 2150-2161
Sidney 2162
Visions of Deadworld
Last Man Standing 2210
The Good Samaritan 2211
A Girl's Gotta Eat 2212
You Give Me Fever 2225
The Man Who Killed Mortis 2226
Leigh 2227

On a side note, Judge Fear: Memories Are Made of This (prog 2073) serves as a sort of thematic bridge between the off-world Dark Justice saga and the Deadworld saga.
Dark Justice p2015, 1912-1921
Dominion M386-M391
The Torture Garden M400-M409
Deliverance M424-M430

Cheers for this. I have most of these already up or waiting for latest covers to get uploaded but I'll double check I've got everything.
You've already identified the main problem with finding them on Barney though. The first Fall of Deadworld story ran with the strip and story names in reversed order to later ones. As a result of this, they're all currently listed under Tainted (http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=thrill&page=profiles&Comic=2000AD&choice=tainted).
Ha. Now I see you were actually replying to Dark Jimbo's post saying exactly what I just explained.
Time for an update?

Might not quite do what you want, but I've just updated my A-Z (https://2kstages.github.io/AtoZ.html).

Which is brilliant as it's a magnificent resource.
Does anyone know why Barney has been neglected and not updated for so long? It is, after all, an invaluable resource.

Well, Cosh sort of inherited it on a purely voluntary basis from Wake - who was maybe once paid to maintain it. So, like, it's not anyone's job. And you can imagine, if one does actually have a job - then doing another job in your spare time for no recompense is entirely up to one's own timetable.
Perhaps King Jason of Sley might be-knight someone and give them the job of maintaining Barney - but Barney is rather a fossil, as interwebby stuff goes. I love Barney, but he's a bit niche. (He doesn't really inform one about where to purchase currently available gubbins, for example.)
Blah...
I think 2000AD needs a really good wiki. There are some wikis out there, but nothing of the quality of, say, the TARDIS Data Core (which isn't perfect, but which I think does a very comprehensive job of collecting information about the worlds of Doctor Who and its spin-offs from across different media).

I'd love an updated Barney with high resolution images, but that seems like an insane project that would be expensive and unloved.
On the other hand, an official wiki would be great (hosted here) and (since I'm doing wishful thinking) integrated with the 2000ad app.
