Great beards of 2000AD

[Trout]

The Canadian winter has led to me growing a beard for the first time in my life. It's insulation. Unexpectedly, I'm quite enjoying it.

I found myself thinking about beards in comics. I liked that big mess that Captain America grew that time he got fired by the US government, but generally beards look crap in US comics. They're hard to colour.

But what about 2000AD and the Meg? Can we draw up a list of the best face fuzz presented by the House of Tharg?

So far I've got:

Nick Stone, Meltdown Man (offset with an eyepatch, too!)

Judge Lopez (unfairly stigmatised by Old Stoney Face)

Judge Dredd (when drawn by Frank Miller)

There must be tons that I haven't thought of. Of course, the greatest beard among the droids must be on the majestic face ofMassimo Belardinelli.

Anyone want to pitch in?

As a beard-owner myself, I applaud this thread. There's nowhere near enough beardoes in comics. To the ranks of the hirsute, we must add:

Dirty Frank.

Judge Solomon (in his original appearance in 'The Cursed Earth'.)

Grand Dragon Mazarin from 'Nemesis the Warlock'.

PJ Maybe in Byron Ambrose mode.

Mine.

[Dark Jimbo]

Alec Trench!

[NapalmKev]

Chief Judge McGruder.

[Ghost MacRoth]

Nicolai Dante.

I've been called a beard before, but that's a different story...

Do droid beards count?

[Richmond Clements]

Durham Red.

Durham Red.

The race for Post of the Year just got very interesting.

[SuperSurfer]

Miller's Dredd.

No, the other one.

[The Legendary Shark]

Shako.

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

Numerous supporting characters in Slaine.

I'm pretty sure Sam Slade briefly had one.

I reckon Dirty Frank's beard doesn't really count. It's probably alive, so it's more like a parasite clamped to Frank's chin, than a beard.
