Thanks guys, one last thing to ask, what are we allowed to get signed? Dumb question i know but is it only issue 2000?

Or can we bring any book the artists worked on that we own, Or will we have to buy something 2000ad related at the forbidden planet store on the day i cant find any info on it

Just making sure i get in my head what to expect before i go to my first ever signing, thanks for being patient.

I got a noob question, hope this is the right place for this

I have never been to a signing , really not met anyone famous before and noticed this is now in cardiff which is perfect for me to get to, should i attend?

I am only just getting back into dredd, would i be seen as a poser as if i was asked any questions by the artists or do they just sign and i move on, like how do these things work, if i was asked like what my favourite stories were i would be stumped, i already have social anxiety a bit, but would love to go, maybe i should step aside and let the true fans go as i could be cheating someone of a place i dunno 

Don't worry - it's an event in a comic shop - social anxiety is almost compulsory :-)

Seriously though - most  signings you'd be lucky to have a chance to chat with the creators for more than a few seconds!

Ahh perfect, sounds like i may attempt this

Wow thanks for the replies everyone, and wow i just saw the sale when i came home from work, i think i just ordered about 50 physical back issues of the megazine haha

I think i came in at the right time today wow

Okay to bring you up to speed I was a fan around 95-97, I'm feeling a bit nostalgic for that era
Thanks for your time, I have posted to the Introduction section but that was in 2012, I have been busy with work etc, but decided to come back to 2000ad for an attempted 3rd time after watching Dredd recently again 

Some Questions related to That period and others

1) I believe the first prog I ever read had Stallone on the cover issue 950 I think, I know I can buy Dredd case files now covering that era, is there anyway I can read other 2000ad stories from between 1995-97? I think some I remember were Rogue Trooper, Vector 13, Dexter & Sinister?  ABC Warriors Umm maybe Slaine and a few others (any collected editions of these from the 1995-1997 era? I'm only looking to re-read those two years for now , with the intention hopefully of catching up before and after thst period eventually.

2) I bought the last weeks prog on a whim and most stories I noticed are already ongoing, I was about to try and buy the Physical back issues to catch up, but noticed one or two at least are now only digital, is it worth me subbing for 3months to get some back issues? Or should I just buy the back issues separately digitally? When you sub for the 3 month digitally, if you dont renew do you still get to keep the issues you got during the time you subbed for say if I wanted to re-read them or do you lose acess when your digital sub runs out?

3) I cannot afford the full £80 right now for a Annual subs but can probably do a 3 month for now, does the Subscription price for annual ever go onsale at new year or black friday for example or does it always stay at £80


4) any reccomends for post 1997 Dredd Storylines I should read asap? The Dark Judges used to be a favourite of mine  ifvthat helps


Thank you to whoever responds or even takes the time to read.

hey noob here

Can you tell me some songs inspired by dredd or 2000ad in general, not including soundtracks of either movie

So Far i know of

Anthrax - I am the Law (which i have known about since the late 90's being a metal fan since then)
Manic St Preachers - Judge Yrself

and just via wikipedia.org  (not the one on here i dont have access) i found only by going thru the wiki page
of Judge Death, that thrash band Dark Angel borught out a song called Darkness Descends which is about the dark judges!

So are there any others ive missed out? Thanks for your time

Hello my name is Marc, new to the boards!

I First got into 2000ad after the stallone movie in 1995 (i know im sorry  ) i was 13yrs old, and the first prog i bought was 950 i kept buying until late 1996 or 1997, i borrowed a Few Graphic Novels from a friend like Oz, America, bought a Few like Young Death, Emerald Isle, the 94 or 95 yearbook 

but then in 1997 i just decided i was too old at 15    to read comics anymore due to my increasing fascination with heavy metal, girls, computers etc, so binned ALL of the comics, but kept the few graphic novels i bought, somewhere probally in the attic,

fast forward to 2009 im 27 yrs old i hear that they are supposed to be making a new movie so i get excited buy a few graphic novels again, and a handfull of the casefiles! but i still haven't read them to this day! i bought dredd v death just recent too and when i knew the film was getting closer to coming out i got really excited for all things dredd and 2000ad again

i saw the film on friday afternoon, rushed out to buy the prog with urban on the front and the latest megazine!

i can't rember most of the stories very well at all l, just vague broken pieces of the stories, and vaguley rember some of the main charachters (who could forget Death, the dark judges, mean and the angel gang,, and rico, chopper and then after that it starts to blur)

so here i am pretty much to start all over again as a 2000ad reader and collector (best start with some of my casefiles eh?) Thanks for your time
