Now of course the big question is will we get a proper review thread or will we be using this one?

Still waiting for mine to drop but the unpredictability of the Sheffield post means I have no idea when it'll land...

Just looking at the cliff robinson cover - im getting that one no matter what! Proper anniversary cover

My prog turned up today, hand delivered to me by my daughter while I was still snoozing, bless her!  A blast of Thrill Power handed to you first thing is better than being delivered a morning cuppa by my youngsters, particularly as it's Prog 2000!!

Be interested to know how you chose which covers to use. Interesting selection.

I hit Barney first of all, just to remind myself of the awesome covers. I wanted my favourite artists visible on the top, and wanted the covers to reflect the period of time where 2000AD had the most impact on my impressionable young mind. Dillon, Ezquerra, Higgins, Fabry, Ewins, and Bollabd made the top spot, closely followed by Ron Smith, Kev O'Neill, Ortiz, and Gibson and McMahon. 

Then I had to consider my fave characters. Dredd came top, naturally, followed by Alpha, Abderson, Torquemada, Kano, Rogue etc etc.

Once I'd dug out the covers my partner took them into work to copy (she's hands down the most amazing woman I've ever met), and then I relied on her design skills to help put them all together in a pleasing effect on the table.

I also dug out a load of my fave stories in the B&W edition, and used those pages for underneath.


My partner suggested I also get a spare Prog 2000 to use the cover as a centrepiece, but at the moment I'm happy with the way the table looks.

Nice to see some love for José Ortiz.  His best work was outside the pages of 2000AD (Thirteenth Floor, and Max is one of the best British comic creations of the eighties) but I really liked Helltrekkers, even if F M Candor didn't rate it highly (whatever happened to them?)  Rogue Trooper didn't quite click with me, though I suppose Ortiz did differentiate those travels as being on a different world to Nu-Earth.

acht...scunnered! Working today and Huff mansions a building site so Grud knows what state my prog will be, still will have a new roof in a months time...

Got the Cliff Robinson cover. Well happy with that.

Haven't got my Fabry cover from FP yet - hopefully that will come on Monday

Only read Dredd so far. Nice page from Bolland. Good episode of Dredd even though [spoiler]it reads more like an episode of Strontium Dog. And despite Johnny's appearance I still don't really consider the Dredd and Stront world's to be one and the same - I just can't see the Mega Cities becoming what we see in Stront -its just doesn't make sense. So for me more of a fun throw away episode.[/spoiler]

Just read mine. Bloody great issue. No grumbles at all, and loads of lovely touches throughout. Top stuff, creator droids.

Let's use this one.
