Title: Show us your DREDD Collection
Post by: Dreddman57 on 09 October, 2012, 11:19:50 AM
Pardon me as a NewBie   this topic may have been covered before
But I've never seen the thread.........So I thought I would start a thread
I know I should start this with pics of my DREDD Shrine "LOL"  but I just thought of it and will get the camera out tomorrow and get a good pic in daylight 
What gave me the idea ......is I just bought a 11" model of DREDD off ebay for $25 aud  yes it was a asian rippoff of the comic style Halaycon?  model I have seen before 
But it will look good with the rest of my Dredd stuff
So far I got a 1979 annual  had since new
a Stallone model  a old Dredd 2000ad badge  the game (Dredd vs death (pc))............
a Marvel figurine of dredd n death..................and the prized BobbleHead of Dredd....
a Anthrax/Dredd sticker and 3 fridge magnets on my Beer fridge.............................+ my new model comming in the post
But I Bet You Guys Have ShitLoads More Than Me!
I'll post my pics tomorrow

You and I, sir, are going to get along like a house on fire!

You might enjoy this thread, as I did, where board members got all worked up about logo positions and exchanged top tips. Some pretty impressive collections compared to my metre-long shelf of trades and annuals:

Commando Forces is going to OWN this thread very soon  :D

On a personal note, my Prog/Megazine collection got so big I ended up having to turn it into furniture. I have boxes of comics 'disguised' as plant stands and a giant TV stand/corner unit.

Graphic Novel/Trade paper back collection is at least 150+ plus god knows what else stuff I have.

Too many squaxx are obsessed with all manner or plastic tat. There is such a thing as a 'perfect' collection- this comprises of every single issue of the weekly, the meg, the specials, the spin-offs and foreign titles THAT FEATURE ORIGINAL SEQUENTIAL ART. For the 'perfect' score, you much also own each and every reprint comic in which the art has been subtley changed by the artist to suit the new format. No points are deducted for owning issues or trades or reprint comics that just feature new cover art- but equally, no points are added. Points ARE deducted for plastic tat and little lead figures. This means that my collection is 99.93% there, and the likes of Commando Forces and chums may as well have entire rooms dedicated to Razzle for all the good it'll do them when the final scores are tallied on our death beds.

When you say foreign titles with original art, do you mean they should retain the original art of the UK version with foreign text overlaid, or that out there you can find original Judge Dredd material that was drawn and written abroad and intended for that country, in another language? I'm not counting anglophone countries in my estimation of "abroad" here because you wouldn't need to change the text.

There is only one collection worth knowing about and that collections owner gets a nod in the DREDD3D film, there is nothing more to say really!

Everyone else might as well burn their meagre piles (I don't really think the word 'collection' covers what they own) of trash. Dedication/madness/illness, choose one, choose all and that is the begining of the road to the

'CELLAR OF DREDD'

It's not just the collecting of comics or beautiful merchandise, oh no! You have to live the life and become one with the character to truly understand what the world of collecting is all about.

Here is the list of notable failures and pretenders to the crown:-

1. Pete Wells - He does love a 2000AD commission and he gets the number one spot by order of being my Greggs supplier from the North!
2. Fat Boy Dale - He loves the world of original art and is a right tight git when it comes to meal times!
3. Cojon1elcruel - A very decent Spanish collector, who has visited the cellar and was given some 'very' rare items to take home!
4. SBT - Lives in cloud cuckoo land, with a few mags with atrocious covers and a wide variety of crap 'C' movie VHS tapes!

I think that's it for the pretenders and I don't think there is anyone else really. Hang on there is a bloke in the North East called 'Rod' who has a collection of unopened boxes, full of bricks and sand but we try not to mention him because he tried to lead people on, saying that he got married in his Judge outfit, when it was only the reception.
As we all know, lies are not big and they most certainly are not clever!

I'm referring to the likes of DC's Judge Dredd and Legends of the Law, Dark Horse's Dredd Vs Aliens: Incubus and Predator Vs Dredd, and the upcoming IDW Dredd series.

For the perfect score, you need reprints with new, or changed art- like Titan's Cursed Earth volumes, Eagle's Nemesis necro-series and the foreign Slaine: Books of Invasions/ ABC Warriors: The Volgan War. However, buying a bunch of 'Best of 2000AD's and foreign Dredds with new covers doesn't gain you points- but equally doesn't lose you any. If the text is only translated into foreign it remains a nice addition to your collection, but not a point-gatherer.

80% of the 'Cellar of Mental' loses points, leaving Commando Forces with a negative score the like of which is rarely seen in comics-fandom. Well done!

As the owner of lots of lead figures, computer games and gronk knitting patterns, I actually lean towards SBTs definition...

I started reading 2000AD with prog 195, then collecting them to get all Strontium Dog stories - this proably started around 1985-6ish... Then I thought I may as well fill in the gaps... then the Titan books and Eagle books for their lavish covers...

It was easy to collect the ephemeral tat back then - I played the board games and computer games as they came out, so I didnt collect them so much as acquire them...  Then I got dragged in... and more and more "collectibles for collectibles sake" things started turning up that I really couldnt afford.... it's certainly a madness!

I veered off into finding fanzines with art and interviews with 2000AD creators instead, though its been a few years since I last bought soemthing on ebay, as even with those, prices were getting silly, and there were very few I didnt have...

and there are collectors (and I use the word loosely to describe myself) who in the past has just given stuff away.
One item being the only one in existence (as far as I know) to CF.




Little does he know its set to self combust at a pre set date engulfing the Cellar in a fireball 8-)

Mind you of course original artwork is special as there really is only one copy of it ;)

Post by: SmallBlueThing on 09 October, 2012, 08:11:13 PM
I should point out that, for anyone who can't spot stupidity, I am joking. Already this week I've been accused of attacking Holland, so I thought I'd best point that out.

My own collection of 2000AD stuff is very finely tuned only to stuff I can read. In short, the comics and books about the comics. Included in that are fanzines and the like- but not necessarily professional  magazines that just happen to contain some related feature. I didn't, for example, buy any of the multiple mags that did Dredd 3D features in the wake of the recent film. I did, however, find a copy of the new FRONT on the train last week, which had a one page feature on the ART OF DREDD book, a review of the movie and an interview with Grant Morrison, as well as loads of tits- so that was a lucky break.

I'm not fussed about models, candles, lead figures, games, tshirts or stuff like that- and certainly not the great swathes of gubbins that CF et al go for. Nor am I one for original art- I'm severely limited in funds, so that kind of thing is out of the question. I'll happily accept sketches from droids if I meet them, and have paid for a commission from one (oddly, not for a 2000AD-related drawing) but actual pages from the comic... the time to get into that has passed. I remember seeing pages from The Cursed Earth and Nemesis by McMahon and O'Neill on sale for £25 each back in the 80s- that would have been the time to start. And I can't help thinking that if I started with original art, it would have to be a goal- to get a complete prog, or something similar. Has anyone here done that?

So- whatever you collect and however much you have at the moment, it's all good. Alongside the 2000AD obsession, I have a parallel fixation for Romero and, wider, for zombies in general- so a lot of that stuff gets bought. And I also buy a lot of comics unrelated to 2000AD as well. On the other hand, I don't drink, smoke or buy music... so it's not as excessive an outlay as you may think.

Hell yes, but £25 might as well have been £25 million, for me, back then. A couple of my pages still have the original asking price of £25 price pencilled on the back. Would you have seen these up for in sale in Forbidden Planet, SBT?

I'm on my phone, so can't see those pages at the moment, but to be honest i cant remembewhat pages they were- this was ck in about 1986 i reckon. In the comic shop up charing cross road, roundabout where 'murder one' was for a while. But yeah, looking back i have no idea why i didnt buy one or two. Happy to spend that money on old bollocks that all these years later i wouldnt give you thanks for, and pvc trousers/net shirts, yet pages of kev o'neill art- nahh. Madness. Oh well, i wasnt to know... :-/
