The announcement that 'Death Planet' was getting the 'floppy' treatment got me thinking - how about a phonebook sized graphic novel of all the old classics strips that don't/won't get a book of their own? I'm thinking of strips like 'Death Planet', 'Ant Wars', 'Angel' (rubbish I know, but still...) 'The Visible Man', 'Shako', 'Project Overkill', 'Colony Earth' and so on (there are dozens of them, some of which have appeared in Extreme Editions)... Maybe call it '2000AD Blasts from the Past' or something (not a great title but then, I'm not in marketing!).

Grud no!, Colony Earth!?!  :o surely thats best left at the very bottom of the barrel with the rest of Thargs stinkers?

I like that Idea Hippy, Some of the stories are 'b' classics, and some are just so shite that they are great, stand up Angel. I liked colony Earth too, I ashamed to say!
Id buy that Casefile.

Shako should get a printing... So should Ant wars.

Thank you! It's the classic compendium format that makes 2000AD great - okay, you don't love 'Colony Earth' but you've got 'Ant Wars'/'Shako'/'Time Quake' etc to make up for it... There are 3 volumes here, at least...
