It's briefly mentioned here that Egmont sold off The Eagle in the 1990s.

But I haven't been able to find out who owns the Eagle now.  Is it the Dan Dare Corporation?  Or someone else?

I have a question.  Toxic #14-15 serialized the prologue from the Marshal Law: Fear and Loathing trade.  They renamed it "Rites of Passage" and added two new bookending pages.  Can anyone provide mention with info or scans on these new bookending pages?  They're not available elsewhere AFAIK.

Quicksilva made two Stronium Dog games, actually.

Krisalis Software made a Rogue Trooper game for Amiga, there was an older Rogue Trooper game from Pirahna,  and Martech also made a Sláine game.

There was also a Stronium Dog game made by Quicksilva, which later became Grandslam Entertainment.

And a Nemesis the Warlock game made by Martech.


Have Big Finish and their 2000 AD audio dramas been mentioned yet?

Sorry to doublepost, but I completely forgot that Dredd had a crossover with Elephantmen, owned by Richard Starkings and Active Images.

I really need to track that down some time.  Was it a free comic book day release?

It was originally in Thought Bubble Anthology 2013.  It's included, along with a Strontium Dog crossover, in Elephantmen: Shots #1 ( https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/the-cbldf-presents-elephantmen-shots-1 )

And also in new '10 years of comics' anthology:

I knew that.  The original Thought Bubble issue is printed at a large magazine size (all reprints are normal comic size) , so I think it's still worth getting.

And there's Pixel Puzzles Ultimate: 2000 AD by Decaying Logic and KISS ltd:

Also, I think Square-Enix (via their buyout of Eidos) co-own the Rogue Trooper video game.

   

• IDW: the Dredd volumes, Rogue Trooper, Anderson, Mars Attacks Judge Dredd, et al

I wanna say that Rebellion owns any IDW comics based on 2000AD properties.

Though The Topps Company owns the Mars Attacks Martians, 20th Century Fox owns Aliens and Predator (with Dark Horse Comics owning certain rights to the crossovers), and Pat Mills and Kevin O'Neill owns Marshal Law (he guest starred in a Dredd story).

And the Comic Relief Comic (released in 1991 by Fleetway) which features Dredd, is a cluster of copyrights.

Sorry to double post, but also,

The Dredd pinball game was made by Bally Midway, which has since been bought out by Warner Bros.

Other Dredd games were published (and are presumably still owned) by Virgin (which was bought out by Interplay, who is now selling its assets),  Atari (owner of the Melbourne House and Gremlin Interactive libraries), Tin Man Games, and Kuju Entertainment.

Throwback Entertainment currently owns most of Acclaim's game titles.  Perhaps they own Acclaim's Dredd games.

Also, a company called FarSight Studios put a game called The Pinball Arcade on Steam, which includes a Dredd board.

Rebellion does outright own Dredd vs. Death and Dredd vs. Zombies.

   

• Judge Dredd (the 1995 film) - who owns that exactly, and particulary the DC adaptation?

Cinergi Pictures produced the film, judging from their Wikipedia page, the rights either went to Disney (who distributed the 95 Dredd film), or maybe producer Andrew G. Vajna (who currently runs The Halcyon Company).


I'd also like to direct everyone's attention to my new thread discussing ownership of Time UK's comic book properties.

Well I'll assume you like 2000ad John, but what other comics tickle ya fancy.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Savage Dragon, Howard the Duck, and Scott Pilgrim, for starters.

I also have a soft spot for WildStorm comics (especially WildCATs and Gen 13), Rob Liefeld's Youngblood, and various animation-licensed comics (like the Simpsons) among many others.

Okay, I wanted to post this in the thread concerning Rebellion's recent buyout of Fleetway's comic properties, but I couldn't reply to that thread, so I'm making this one.

Anyway, I want to talk about the comic book properties and characters that Time UK still has the rights to. 

This article from a while back makes its sounds like Time UK shares rights to its comic properties with DC Comics.

But what I haven't seen anyone here acknowledge is that two years ago, Time Warner (which still owns DC Comics) spun off Time Inc. (which presume includes Time UK) into its own separate company.

So I'm wondering how those rights were split.

My name's John Pannozzi, and I'm a big comic book fan, and I'm pleased to join the 2000 AD boards.
