In celebration of the original Mega-City master, this collects the very best of John Wagner's Judge Dredd stories!This is going to need to be a big book!
304 pages, apparently, which is pretty chunky. I don’t envy whoever had to put that together. Compiling the best of the master’s stories must have been insanely tricky.

When did Robin Smith do a Judge Death story?
He did an episode or two of the Anderson story that's included. Was it between Ewins and Robinson (maybe after to finsh up I can't remember)When did Robin Smith do a Judge Death story?
A few episodes of the first Anderson Psi Division story, Revenge (also known as The Four Dark Judges) - after Brett Ewins and before Cliff Robinson.

EXCLUSIVE COVER REVEAL: timed to concide with 2000 AD's landmark 45th anniversary in February, the 336-page hardcover '2000 AD Encyclopedia' will feature this explosive new cover by artist Stewart K Moore! An indispensable tome for comic book fans - pre-order coming soon!
Yes how hard must it be to design these things with the copy in mind. Anderson and Death getting lost to the back copy as well. They should do it as a dust jacket and have the underside clear of copy, or put it in the endpapers as well.
Will be very interested to see if they've done any edits to this from the edition we got in the 'floppy'2000 AD’s Facebook droid says: “It will be a collection of those, but with further updates, corrections etc.”
Perfect! Hope you're on the mend Mike!Yes how hard must it be to design these things with the copy in mind. Anderson and Death getting lost to the back copy as well. They should do it as a dust jacket and have the underside clear of copy, or put it in the endpapers as well.

i stand corrected! Good spot.Yes how hard must it be to design these things with the copy in mind. Anderson and Death getting lost to the back copy as well.
I'm thinking that's Judge Marshal Meta Lawson on the back there, as Anderson is on the front riding the Lawmaster. Fantastic cover!
I know very little about Karl the Viking but just looking at that cover I strongly suspect I'll be getting this.
The 45th anniversary prog (2270) coming Feb next year and details related to a special Dredd story:

That third page seems to show Dredd shooting at Sov Judges with a Mk 3 Lawgiver. It looks too chunky to be a slender, of-the-era Mk 1. Maybe it's a training sim rather than a flashback at this point?
'War Buds' springs to mind as a possible fit?

The Art of Carlos Ezquerra (https://www.bookdepository.com/Art-Carlos-Ezquerra/9781786185679) - Hardback, 240 pages, 10th May 2022
"Carlos Ezquerra's amazing work is collected in this oversized hardcover book, showing off his impressive art that has entranced readers for over 50 years.
Spanning 50 years, this collection of Carlos Ezquerra's comic work begins with samples from such titles as Valentine and Mirabelle, collects never before reprinted short war comics from Battle, shows off his sumptuous colour Strontium Dog art, and culminates with a section on his 2000 AD work and his greatest creation, Judge Dredd."

Absolutely fascinating that its in the floppies - Tharg really is experimenting. I guess (???) its a bit like the way that's been used to prelaunch the Encyclopedia?
Anyone interested in Finn, from Pat Mills twitter:
I think Rebellion told me Finn will be next year. We'll see. But is odd that it's taken so long and I'm not convinced by the reasons
Having glanced at Pat's memoir in a comic shop once, apparently his theory is that I cancelled Finn due to my anti-pagan agenda.
In reality I cancelled Finn because it was mediocre, at best.
But, you know, each to their own.
All I know is that I've never seen you dancing naked atop Calton Hill at Beltane, which I think speaks volumes.
And yeah, Finn wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. Great concept but the stories never quite matched it - too much mucking around on space ships and expositionAll the Ickeish stuff in there felt weird at the time but feels deeply off now. But, as David said, to each their own. Some people still like it, I suppose. To my mind, it’s a long way down the list of Mills strips.

Right down there with Pat's work on Ivor Lott & Tony Broke, which this squaxx loathed as a sprog. Stevie found it conspiracy theory by the numbers. The Mason-baiting was a pale shadow of the Cythron cosmology in Slaine. Paul wasn't the most sympathetic character in Third World War, but as Finn he was pure teenage boy rock star fantasy.
Birdman and Chicken: The Krazy Crusaders (https://www.bookdepository.com/Birdman-Chicken-Trevor-Metcalfe/9781786184924) - Paperback, 192 pages, 3rd March 2022
To the outside world, Dick Lane and Chic Dodds look like two average, law-abiding citizens. However, they lead an amazing double life - for when fiendish finks and vile villains step over the line, Dick and Chic strike back as the crime-fighting duo, Birdman and Chicken!
Cowled, caped and equipped with a vast array of crime-busting gadgets, Birdman and Chicken fight back against the likes of The Giggler, Sourpuss, The Puzzler and Father Time – and sometimes they win!
A rib-tickling parody of the 1966 Batman television series, Trevor Metcalfe’s super-series was a highlight of Krazy comic every week and is finally collected here for the first time.
Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 39 (https://www.bookdepository.com/Judge-Dredd-Complete-Case-Files-39-John-Wagner/9781786184634) - Paperback, 304 pages, 28th April 2022
In the nightmare metropolis of the future he is judge, jury and executioner - he is Judge Dredd!
The best-selling Complete Case Files series continues with Judge Dredd taking on terrorist organistions, hunting down PJ Maybe who has taken on a new disguise, and Pat mills returns with Blood of Satanus II: Dark Matters.
Drawn by a roster of the greatest artists working on Judge Dredd in the 21st Century - Chris Weston (The Filth), Cam Kennedy (Star Wars), Henry Flint (Zombo) ,and Ian Gibson (Halo Jones) - the Judge Dredd Case Files series has sold over half a million copies.
Always weird when it has storys I think of (for possibly brain addled reasons) as “recent”.
Tubular Hells was a terrible story that undermined the impact of the last episode of Book X and didn't need to exist.
I didn't know that. Smith should have overruled him.

Black Beth is an interesting one. I guess at just 80 pages including the resurrected version, there wasn’t much material in Scream, then?
I see - so it's Tharg as the annoying drunk requesting entirely inappropriate songs and generally annoying the DJ. hmmmmmm.
No one has any thoughts on Indigo Prime coming back for a one-off next year? Will it be Kek-W again?

I’ll definitely be getting The Out. A pity there’s no HC. Here’s hoping enough people can writing begging notes to Tharg to at least get us a webshop exclusive HC.
I'm starting to struggle a little making sense of how these decisions are being arrived at.

Was Legends of the Law any good? I've only read the first story arc (which was OK) but didn't continue reading further knowing Wagner wasn't writing. These show up cheap in dollar bins at shops and conventions but I've not sought them out.
I’ve not read the DC Dredds in a long time, but I remember them being of two types. The main DC series was awful—even worse than IDW’s “Dredd with a bushy beard” run. The one being reprinted here was… fine? But it doesn’t say amazing things that I used to own all these comics yet can’t recall anything much about them.
Just for the record - this is the line-up of Legends of the Law stories, as originally published by DC.
First two stories are being reprinted in 2022.
Issues 1 - 4: The Blood Donors (John Wagner, Alan Grant / Brent Eric Anderson, Jimmy Palmiotti)
Issues 5 - 7: Trial by Gunfire (Daniel G Chichester / Anthony Williams, Andy Lanning)
Following stories will be reprinted at a future date (presumably, based on sales of the first volume).
Issues 8 - 10: Fall From Grace (John Byrne / Bob Pinaha, Gary Martin)
Issues 11 - 13: Dredd of Knight (Pat McGreal / Nigel Dobbyn, Barbara Kaalberg)
While I get why they wanted to highlight the Ben Wheatley quote it does rather spoil the space in that image. Still gonna buy one. Which more series got the HC treatment like this.
Think this got posted to the wrong topic!
How many Trigan Empire books are expected?
The older I get, the less I like Dr & Quinch. But. A *Jamie Smart* full-on anarchy Dr & Quinch in Regened…
Bolt-01 block?
*lib wobble*
Yeah the block tribute is great.
That is Dylan's colour palette - its so distinctive and he does get a credit.
Nice. I did like that new story, but this is a really skinny book. Will mull it over though, because I would like a copy. (I wish they’d do more. Black Beth could nicely fill the Sláine gap.)

They certainly weren’t finished at the point when it had become obvious that Bisley had just given up all interest in it.That doesn't necessarily contradict my "years ago".

i mean if i were a sarcy asshole i would say uncle pat is trying to figure out how to make a nft out of his work and thats why its taking too long.Sad, but not surprising. It has always been hard to separate out the righteous anger and fearlessness that powered his best work from the sometimes dubious company he keeps.
eh but i would totally never do that....nope no sir not bitter at all that one of my writing heroes is a nft supporter....nope no sir

i'm starting to wonder if the never-ending skip tracer is actually some huge postmodern joke on all of us.
Oh and Hookjaw in the floppie already!
The weird thing with Skip T is its not objectively bad as such, fridging asideHonestly, the fridging aside should have been enough to have some alarm bells go off. But beyond that, it’s so obvious and cliche-ridden. Perhaps it needs a re-read, but I just don’t care enough to do that when there are so many objectively better comics that demand by time.
skip tracer by sonic youth?
Great cover. I just hope the number of strips as songs is kept to a minimum. As someone who actually writes songs, that kind of strip too often feels off to me and only very rarely works.Agreed. Wagner and Grant seemed fond of these when they were writing together, but I was never a fan. Hopefully, it will be more like the original Comic Rock, where Nemesis the Warlock was supposedly inspired by Going Underground. If you say so....
When is this Sci-Fi Special released?

Ihave to say I find the use of band or song names in literature a bit of an off putting choice - it feels like the writer is either trying to get you on board because you like the same music / get the reference, or just an exercise in muso - like naming your child after an obscure musician so other parents who "get it" will nod approvingly

The Inspectre doesn't count?
There's something quite bewildering about bringing back Skip Tracer yet again.
Maybe completely off the mark here, but when it started it felt like an experiment in creating another strip to run in semi-regular rotation a la Dante or Sin Dex, but one which failed to earn the love of the readers like either of those, which makes Tharg's devotion to it rather baffling. Especially as it had reached what felt like a natural ending point. And yet, here we are again.
Please let this be the last one, Tharg. It's had it's run, but it was clear from the start it was never going to be in the pantheon of classic 2000AD stories. Let it go.

they're definitely not running out - don't they own nearly all the history of british comicsI meant in the sense of readily available content. Having a massive archive is one thing. Spending a lot of effort cleaning strips up for a ‘free’ component of a magazine probably isn’t the best use of resources.

I vote for a complete run of "Burp the Smelly Alien" from Oink!
My guess is that the Dan Dare Corp (and some of the other IP owners who seem to just be sitting on material) refuse to accept a lot of (what seem to be reasonable) offers because if they did accept they'd be setting a price below what they've valued their IP at.
They'd rather bring in zero income and claim it's worth X million pounds than make at least some money but have to admit that they previously over-estimated the value. I'm assuming there's a tax advantage or similar involved somewhere along the line.

There was a TV show in the early 2000s (CGI, so probably holds up as well as anything CGI around then holds up) and a film announcement a few years back that just kind of disappeared. Though it’s theoretically a big IP I’m honestly not sure it’s the world really cares that much about stiff upper lip British officers defending the space commonwealth anymore, and if you move too far from that it stops being Dare.Yeah, Pat Mills now says he regrets resurrecting the character in name only for the launch of 2000AD in 1977, even though commercially, it made perfect sense.
What was the problem with the Ennis version?
i think it was the most hackneyed work of garth's career. usually the master of confounding and shocking writing, in this instance everything is wholly predictable.
give me grant morrison's superb and disturbing subversion of dare instead, please.
Is that the one where Dan Dare gets bummed by the Mekon?
