The Greatest 2000AD Cover Ever!!

Every couple of days I?ll put up the link to a block of 50 covers, you then have time to scrutinise, agonise and change your mind a few times before either replying via the board or sending me your choice by e-mail.

It doesn?t matter that you like a couple of covers from one block and none from another, by the time we?ve gone through them all. You?d have to pick your faves from the following rounds when the block winners go into the following eliminator rounds.

This will take about a month to do, so people need to stick with it, but it gives people time to think and allows people coming in late to catch up with previous rounds.

At the end, we?ll have the Greatest 2000AD Cover as voted for by the board and then the arguments can begin.

Round One:

Progs 1 ? 50:

Pick one cover and one only; reply via the board or by e-mail.
You can mail me off the board via my profile page:

Let the voting commence.

Link: Round One: Progs 1 - 50

on this thread if so i will go for prog 5

I'll go for 23

Ohh tough call already (lots of monster eating to choose from), but I'm going for:

Prog 27

(Bolland AND Face eating frog!)

I'll go with Prog 7.

23.

don't know what the f*ck it's about but god that's creativity.

23 for me too.

(Although I was torn between that and 18.  Both are 2000AD at its wackiest.)

I have fond memories of the cover of prog 5, but I reckon I would have to go for prog 9.
Artie Guber and a big gun.

27

Substance: Flesh
Conclusion: Edible

Given the terrible state of those early covers, its a wonder 2000AD survived past 50!  Still, prog 9 and prog 11 are good uns.... I'll go with prog 9.

Definitely prog 11 for me.

"I'll go with prog 9."

Yup. Me, too. Perhaps not coincidentally, this is also the first issue I remember owning - procured from a newsagent to distract me as a bored child on an interminable holiday visiting grandparents in the small, perpetually rainy Scottish town of Newton Stewart ...

Cheers

23 for me.


Ed

Always had a liking for 45 myself

It's a close run between 23 & 27, but 23 just pips it with it's bizarreness.

Prog 07, one of my all time favourites out of the early issues.

23

Prog 19. I've never owned it but it kinda touched me when I saw it in Annual or Special when I was ten or thereabouts.

32

Although not the most eye-arresting of the first fifty covers it was the first back issue I bought at a jumble sale as a Lil' Diaz.

this scared the life out of me when i first saw it...

23. It's just so... weird. You'd *have* to buy a comic with a cover like that, just for the "WTF?" element.

19

Think I'll go for prog 27, for no other reason than I like the idea of canivorous, alien frogs.

It must be 23 for me too.  Bolland at his best before he started mucking about with all this computah shite :)

I go for number 9

Rotts

23

sorry i was away for a while
 23 for me'

4

5

44.  This is too difficult in such a short time!

Finally finding the time:

45

Dan Dare

Brian Bolland

- Trout

Sorry I'm late! I've got an excuse!

Actually, I haven't. I do however hava a noination:

Prog 9. 'Ol Artie Gruber.
"Eeewww - You can see his innards!"

Uh... nomination, even...

Is it too late to add to this thread?

Prog 44 if not.

45 a brit in space childhood dreams

17 it is then.

So long as it means Mr PAT Mills!

39

these supercovers are great

18

Prog 20 for me.

I like it's olde style pulp comic feel.

Val

My cover is this lovely Brett Ewins number, prog 39
