2000 AD - The Ultimate Collection

[The Monarch]

war of the worlds, scarlet traces and the great game in that order

[IndigoPrime]

So that's the entirety of the original DH hardcovers. Hmm. I love those books, but this is tempting, given that the rest will also be collected in the UC.

[Shakira? Shakara!]

Each arc is about 60 pages, so I cannot see that all 4 will be included maybe only 3

Fantastic. Thanks. Still worth my while, as the floppy only collects 1 & 2, and I dropped the Prog after the first episode of 3 was published. One of the few series I was still enjoying at the time, so will be good to finally read 3 in it's entirety,

Hopefully if it is, indeed, stopping at 5, they will manage to squeeze out a second, concluding, volume in the 200 extension. Especially as no doubt they will split it into 3 floppies. I'm still amazed they just re-issued the 2 volumes of Insurrection rather than creating a new complete edition. The JD: Ult Collection volume that collects the whole trilogy in one is the still the definitive edition all these years later!

So we've now got 29 gaps, and only about 4 books to fill them with! Armoured Gideon, Lawless, Durham Red, and The Order (though is there enough Lawless now for two volumes...?)

[IndigoPrime]

Willing to bet the Dredd count is going to go up quite a bit!

[Swerty]

The elusive issue 144 /179 (Dredd Anderson) is on eBay if anyone still needs it.

Strange, I've just gone to have a look at the covers on Hatchette and it only goes up to 165, so assume it's been taken down, or I'm looking at a cached copy.

'Dan Dare' volume 1 is scheduled to come in at a hefty 272 pages (is this a record for a Hachette book?) and will two volumes be enough to cover everything that was in the Rebellion editions?

Ah, thanks for the link. Weird that 167 has the same cover as 165 (at present).

Rebellion editions are listed as 320 and 336. So presumably some stuff will be cut. Either that or the Rebellion books have loads of extras.

Volume 1 of the nice Rebellion hardbacks has progs 1-23 and 28-51. Volume 2 has 52-85, 100-107, 109-126 and 1034. None of the pages are numbered in these editions, gah, but I can tell you there are around 50 pages of 'bonus' sci-fi special and annual strips in the first volume, and around 30 including text stories in the second. The first has no back-matter, the second a few pages. The first keeps the double-page colour spreads of the initial stories, which are usually 5 pages, so there are a lot of episodes with an extra blank page added. I'd imagine the first Hachette book would want to do that too.

These editions are so well put together, and preferable to Hachette versions I'd have thought.

[IndigoPrime]

They are also both half price in the current sale. For Hachette subscribers, that won't make any odds. But for cherry pickers, the Rebellion volumes at that price surely have to be the better bet.
