I'm thinking that if the story appeared in the Judge Dredd title then it's a Dredd story. But anything that appeared under its own title goes into the non-Dredd list.

So Midnight Surfer and Oz are Dredd stories but Song of the Surfer is not. If that makes sense.

If anyone's vote needs clarification I will contact them.

Cheers all

Cripes, this will take a bit of thinking! Obviously the stories I talked about on the podcast will feature in my lists, but the rest will be an enjoyably brain-wracking experience.

I've just about managed to get my two lists down to 10 entries each - but putting them in an order is going to be killer!

Got several votes already. Keep them coming and one lucky voter will win this Hachette covers book in its slip case (or I'll find you a different prize if you've already got it.)

And here is the latest episode with Brian Doob from British Invaders back to talk about Pat Mills, John Wagner, Dave Gibbons and Steve Moore writing the Fourth Doctor in a lovely Panini collection.

Listen in.

Great show - it's a real pleasure to hear people so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about this stuff. I vividly remember how excited I was to find the first issue at my local newsagent.

For the first year or so of DWM there was another strip at the back featuring various Dr Who monsters, also with some 2000ad creators, including excellent early Steve Dillon art. Two or three of these stories turn up in later Panini volumes, but I'd love a complete collection. Alan Moore & David Lloyd did an Auton story, but as far as I know, not available anywhere...

I met up with Rachael Bullmore in the pub on free comic book day to chat about a digest collection of Otto Sump stories. We had fun with one of Mega-City One's weirdest characters. Plus knitting!

And I will find the link to the Pig song.

A quick google reveals this - I think this is where the original QR code from the FCBD comic led Pug Ugly: Hey Pig.

Not to be mistaken for The Oink Song - I presume that Oink! is part of the IP bought by Rebellion the other year...

Thanks, Sheridan. I knew I could count on you. Lovely to see you both this weekend
