Hey all!

It's a sad day - downsizing at the moment, and those 20-odd boxes of 2000ADs and Megazines are having the pointy end of the "they've got to go" stick aimed at them... sniff...

What I have there - amassed over many years - is the complete collection of Progs and Megs, up to the present day. Almost all of them are near mint, with a small number in very good condition (a run from 700 - 900). No newsagents' marks or price stickers anywhere.

There's actually a run from around 130 - 200 that is MINT - never read, an absolute find I had from a US seller who'd had them sitting in a warehouse for many years waiting for a customer to pick them up - he obviously never showed. They're in beautiful condition.

What's even more fun, I have every single free gift that came with the Progs and Megs (yes, even the bubblegum), and hundreds of issues with the flyers and leaflets  included as distributed in the UK. Prog 1 with the Space Spinner, Prog 2 with the Biotronic stickers, Prog 3 with the Space Wallet (unmade), and so on - every gift and flyer that I know about are there.

Prog 1 even has a letter from Tharg himself, with a signed photograph that went out to the senders of the first 50 letters opened by the folks at IPC. It's in really lovely condition.

There's also every variant that I know of - the Rogue Trooper Prog 2005 cover for instance, and the "Tooth X-ray" variant cover, as examples. Even that bloody Diesel "Ice Crusaders" Prog, which was extremely hard to find...

Added to all this are nearly all the Annuals and Specials, all the FCBD issues, Poster Progs, Dice Man issues, Dredd/Batman/Lobo/Predator issues, as well as Starlord and Tornado. All the more recent 2000AD-related specials are there as well.

Subscribers' gifts are all included as well, from about the year 2005 onwards.

They've all been bagged and boarded (where correct size boards were available) and stored neatly in boxes.

I have no real idea whether it's worth trying to sell the whole collection together - I imagine many here will already have sizeable collections - but I thought it worthwhile seeing if anyone has a decently informed idea of the possible value...

There's one tricky bit - I'm down in Oz. So shipping will obviously be a challenge - unless you're local - hence why I suspect I'll have to split the collection up. But we'll see...

Anyway, if anyone's got any thoughts, I'm keen to hear them!

Cheers!

P.S. I've attached a list of what's in the collection, just to show what a pedant I've been. Marvel and be horrified  at the same time...

Hey folks - been a while since last I asked, but thought I'd try my luck again - anyone happen to have a copy of the 2000AD Diesel promotional prog?

Pretty much the last prog on my wants lists - been after it for a while! Bit hard finding it down here in Oz.

If any of you fine folks feel like sending a copy down to sunny Sydney, I'd be happy to take it off your hands for a reasonable sum of galactic groats.

Cheers all!

Being an optimist - just seeing if any squaxx out there managed to snare one of those 3A Mongrols that were on sale at SDCC briefly last weekend, and is willing to part with it...

I'll totally make it worth your while... :)

Hey folks! I've got a new Dredd with the Mk 1 Lawmaster from the guys at Dark World Creations which I'm getting rid of (moving my office back home, got to get rid of a bunch of stuff...  :P )

It's in top nick, having actually never been opened - anybody want to give it a new home?

The only catch is that I'm down in Australia, so postage might be a bit - but I'll take any decent offer! Name your price!

News / Mezco Judge Dredd - Cursed Earth..?
24 April, 2015, 12:49:04 AM
Anybody know what this is?  Is it just a blue variant of the upcoming Mezco Dredd - or something a bit more interesting..?

General / Upcoming Art of Mad Max: Fury Road book...
03 January, 2015, 05:12:41 AM
Not sure if this is the place to post such information, but considering there's going to be a wealth of art by Brendan McCarthy in it, there's a fair link to 2000AD and all its wonders.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Mad-Max-Fury-Road/dp/1783298162/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1420261466&sr=8-14&keywords=fury+road

There's going to be a lot of pre-production concept artwork from the very inception of the project - much by McCarthy, storyboards by Sexton, McCarthy and Pound, as well as a stack of other stuff.  Could be good, for those who are keen...

Hey folks,, been a participant on the forum for a fair while (a couple of years?)... so how does one become:
  a) something other than a "new arrival"...
  b) able to post freely in all topics (I seem to be unable to do so)..

Do I have to slip someone an unmarked envelope of galactic groats, or something..?

Classifieds / Want List..!
05 November, 2014, 01:53:24 AM
Hey folks - is there anyone out there who might have any of these 2000AD-related oddities they might be willing to part with..?

I'm trying to find a copy of the 2000AD prog 1450 and 1589 variant covers that came free with SFX Magazine...

Also a copy of the Subscription Only poster (Skyline of Mega City 1) that came out with the 2006 subs?

I've got a few other things I'm looking out for, but I'll try my luck with these first...  I'm willing to pay!  (Reasonable rates, anyway!)

Thanks all!

General / One off the Bucket List..!
12 July, 2014, 01:26:05 PM
After being a committed (and probably committable) Judge Dredd/2000AD fan for 30 years, I'm well excited to post a childhood dream of mine...

The IDW folks were down in Australia a few weeks ago and were looking for some new talent - thought I'd try my luck and see how it went.

I managed to convince Chris Ryall - who was a lovely fellow, I have to say - to give me the chance to have a go at an illustration of Dredd as a tryout...

It seemed to go well - they've decided to use it as a cover for issue#26 of the IDW Judge Dredd series..!

http://ryallsfiles.tumblr.com/tagged/mark-sexton

So there you go - my stab at Dredd.  Hopefully there'll be more opportunities in the future - but super thrilled to have had the chance...  Hope you all like it!

...now I just need to convince Tharg to give me a stab in a future prog...!

(P.S. I can't actually attach the image - if anyone out there can and feels like posting it, that'd be fantastic.  Cheers!)

Hey there all,

In the process of building up a collection of 2000AD with - horrors! - all free gifts and flyers, inserts and other rarities of note.  Of which there seems to be a lot.  And a lot of them didn't make it down here to Australia.

I have a list (which, quite frankly, terrifies me - mainly due to its length)...  At the moment, it's mostly from #700 and on that I'm looking, and if anyone's interested, I can post it (at the risk of servers crashing).

Soooo - at the risk of house and home (mine, that is) - is anyone able to help out a Poor Completist?

...or shall I just seek professional psychiatric help?

Cheers all!

G'day you lot, hope you're all behaving yourself...

I'm unloading a bit of stuff on ebay, and two items might be of particular interest - Prog 1 & 2, both in excellent condition, with the free gifts included!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221230288250?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221230289016?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Letting these go with some reluctance... just so long as they go to a good home...

Cheers!

Hey folks...

If anyone's keen, I'm selling a rare Tharg 1/6 scale figure, mint in box, on ebay...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3A-2000AD-THARG-FIGURE-ASHLEY-WOOD-/221020951321?pt=AU_Action_Figures&hash=item3375e01319

or if you're in Oz

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221020951321?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I'm down in Australia, but the box isn't heavy (1.5kg) so postage won't be a killer!

Thanks all!
