Due to the usual reasons of space and time I'm looking to offload my collection.

2000ad
I'm going to hold onto issues 1 - 100 but other than that every issue from 101 to 1836 is included in this collection.

Judge Dredd Megazine
Every issue from 1 - 337 is included

I also have all of the 2000ad sci-fi specials and winter specials, all of the Judge Dredd mega specials and all of the Daily Star Judge Dredd collections.

I don't really want to get into selling the odd prog or meg here and there so I'd rather these went in collections.

All of these items are in, at least, Very Good condition. I live in Essex and can be fairly flexible when it comes to arranging collection or delivery etc.

Basically, I'm open to offers via PM.

Cheers

David

Hi,

Does anyone know how I get a combined digital subscription to both the meg and 2000ad? Is such a thing even possible as I cannot find that option anywhere on the site or app.

General / Storing comics in my garage...
06 September, 2007, 08:38:09 PM
...am I asking for trouble?

My whole comics collection has been relegated to first the loft and now the garage (bloody children now living in the spare rooms). Everything is bagged and boxed and raised up from the floor but I keep thing the roof is bound to spring a leak.

I'm sure I'm not the first to face this problem so I wondered if anyone had any bright comic protecting ideas?

I've already lost my 2000ad collection one and can't bear (or afford) to go through that again.

Off Topic / Ending an Ebay auction early...
17 August, 2007, 04:28:57 PM
A potential buyer has contacted me about one of my auctions and asked me to name my price and end the auction early. This seems bad form to me, particularly as bidding has started, so I'm going to refuse. But I just wondered what the general opinion of this kind of eBay shenanigan is?

Off Topic / Photoshop question
15 June, 2007, 11:19:50 AM
Mornin'. Does anyone know which brush style in photoshop gives a magic marker effect? I'm thinking Pantone Tria marker on bleedproof layout paper...

General / Size matters - Retro 2000ad t-shirts question
07 December, 2006, 02:01:35 PM
Does anyone know if the new classic t-shirts are available anywhere other than on this site? All sizes other than XXL seem to be sold out, and that's no good becasue I want to show off my manly shape to the chicks.

This is great but it's driving me mental!

The first step is to click on the grey lid on the right and then click on the yellow arrow below it.

there are 3 different types of projectile, the exploding ones are bad

On last weeks cover, the one with the family of aliens reading back issues of 2000ad, the design droids have cleverly distorted the covers of the comics being read so that they look curved. Does anyone know how this would be done? Is it a photoshop filter? I need to do the exact same thing today on a job I'm working on.

General / Durham Red TPBs
25 May, 2006, 06:56:04 PM
Hi, has anyone seen the new Durham Red TPBs in the shops? I got The Art of Kenny Who? yesterday but that was apparently published a month later than the 2 Durham Red ones... anyway, just trying to decide whether or not go to Gosh! at lunch time and spend loads of cash I don't really have.

Off Topic / another bomb alert?
26 July, 2005, 06:04:14 PM
Just been speaking to my missus on the phone. We live in Walthamstow, NE London, and Jules was ringing to tell me that our road had been blocked off both ends this morning, that there was about 20 armed police up and down our street and that what looked like a bomb disposal unit had entered a house practically opposite ours. She doesn't know anymore than this but the police have now gone and there didn't seem to be any arrests.

Jules is stuck at home with our two boys and I am starting to get more and more certain that we have to move out of London. If we do i daresay I'll still have to commute in through Liverpool Street but I think my mind is made up now.

That's what I want to know.

Working in advertising I often hear rubbish spouting from the mouths of suits when we're presenting advertising concepts to them eg. "I don't like green" or "I don't like humour". Had one the other day which really took the biscuit.

We're having to do adverts for a very well known high street retailer for their Xmas temporary staff recruitment campaign, the headline was "Get a better position this Christmas" and the visual idea was Santa sitting on a little boys lap in his grotto reading off HIS christmas list and the boy looking very disgruntled. The suits took one look at this and it was 'ARRGGGHHHH - PAEDOGEDDON!" I couldn't believe, I did argue that this is Santa! and that all over the country little boys and girls will be sitting on his lap this christmas but they weren't having it - as far as they were concerned this Santa was a paedophile.

Is it me or is Santa the new Michael Jackson?

This is actually a very good idea....

East Anglian Ambulance Service have launched a national "In case of
Emergency ( ICE ) " campaign with the support of Falklands war hero
Simon Weston.

The idea is that you store the word " I C E " in your mobile phone
address book, and against it enter the number of the person you would
want to be contacted "In Case of Emergency".

In an emergency situation ambulance and hospital staff will then be able
to quickly find out who your next of kin are and be able to contact
them. It's so simple that everyone can do it. Please do.

Please will you also email this to everybody in your address book, it
won't take too many 'forwards' before everybody will know about this. It
really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest.

For more than one contact name ICE1, ICE2, ICE3 etc.

Books & Comics / Free comics anyone?
11 May, 2005, 06:29:06 PM
Right, been having a purge of comics after the huge collection thread and have decided to give away some 2000ad related stuff (ie all the creators have written/drawn for tooth at some time). First come first served, I live in London (Walthamstow) and work in Islington/Shoreditch so and you'll have to collect them if you want them...

Girl - 3 issues by Milligan and Fegredo
The Extreemist - 4 issues by Milligan and McKeever
The Minx - 8 issues by Milligan and Phillips (bit of a theme developing here)
Egypt - 8 issues by Milligan and some other bloke
Sebastian O - 3 issues by Morrison and Yeowll
Kid Eternity - 3 issues by Morrison and Fegreedo
Millenium Fever - 3 issues by Abadzis and Fegredoh!

that's it for now.

General / Drunk at work
19 November, 2004, 10:24:49 PM
I'l tell you what, these days two pints and I'm anyones.

Used to be able to drink at lunchtimes, but now one scoop and I am a gibbering idiot.
