Devastating news. Everybody on here knows how wonderful he was as an artist, and for those of us lucky enough to have met him, how wonderful a person he was.
A very sad day indeed. My thoughts are with his family and friends and my sincerest condolences to his colleagues.
2016 can fuck right off.

sending you good wishes JBC. i hope everything turns out ok and things improve for your niece soon.

2000AD now own The Leopard from Lime Street?
That's f*#&ing zarjaz!

while MOST (but not all) of MACH 1 got reprinted in 2 extreme editions, MACH ZERO didn't get the treatment. would love to see the unreprinted MACH 1 stories along with the MACH ZERO stories bundled in a floppy.

please please please Tharg, can we have a MACH ZERO floppy?

i'm going to undertake a course on custom book-binding and i want to make my own "2000AD Year 1" year 2 year 3 etc hardcovers. need mach 0 to be able to do this.

thanks for all the welcoming comments guys, way to make a feel a guy at home.
cheers mr burdis, you're a bloody legend among dredd-heads, been following your cellar for years, green with envy at some of your goodies!
thanks for the offer inky, i might take you up on some of those back issues! i swore i wasn't going to try and put a full collection together, but after picking up prog 1 three weeks ago.....
i bought over 2000 back progs and megs off ebay this week lolz. have to get them freighted from queensland to south oz and then catalogue them all, but after that i'll send you a wants list

Trent, as you say, Trapper Hag. Wagner & Grant scripting with Steve Dillon drawing? I'm in for 20 bucks for that!
One that's coming up that i'm unsure of is Missionary Man. No real interest in the character, but.... Black Plague, Hotdog Run and Shantytown? That's a purchase (although I think I've already got those stories in The Complete JD).
Already grabbed The Heavy Mob when it came out, was excited for Father Earth but, as has been previously pointed out, the repro was very poor. I'm another confused punter who wonders why rebellion can't take scans from the old Titan reprints. That's the thing with these books though; there isn't a SINGLE volume that i look at and think "That's not worth 20 bucks". They're great value for money with the hardcover format and high page count. It was only when i looked at the series as a WHOLE and realised about a quarter of it is non-Dredd that I decided to start skipping issues as i didn't want to spend ~$400 on stuff i have no need for, other than consistency with the spines. Am considering printing my own spines anyway as i think i'd rather shelve the books in a chronological order.

terryworld: out of curiosity, have you read any of the non-Dredd stuff? Of the volumes so far released, Anderson, Swimming in Blood, Simping Detective, and Low Life are all excellent.

hey IP,

i'm buying all the anderson stuff, that's "real" dredd, in my opinion
i read most of the other dreddworld stuff as it came out in the meg; devlin, armitage, hondo etc.
wasn't my cup of tea.
i was tempted to get low life, but i bought the titan trade instead.
(best mega-epic in the last few years)
so, i'm just being very particular with which issues of the mega collection i get.
as i'm getting them here in Oz, i know which ones are coming out months ahead of time, and i have to say i'm looking forward to the next few months for me; atlantis, sin-city, kleggs, pit, death, anderson, necropolis, pj, doomsday and cal.
i might get struck by thrill-power overload.

i'm cherry picking. not buying anything that isn't a "proper" JD book (ie: i've skipped devlin waugh, low-life, etc, and have no intention of buying armitage or any hondo-city stuff).
my daughter is asking "but won't you go crazy when the spines don't line up?!"
nope.
i worked out fairly early on in the run that around a quarter of the books would be "dredd universe" and not actually DREDD. quick maths made me realize; 20 books @ $20 a pop = $400 of stuff i don't want.
i'll have to live with the incomplete spine pic
having said that though......
i did make a trip into Radelaide town today to pick up cursed earth koburn - what can i say? it's Ezquerra and there's a lot of Dredd in there.

Florix Grabundae, much appreciated!

now for the obvious question.... how do i get full posting rights on here?
and the ability to have a cool and groovy avatar?
