Suggestions / My suggestion - Halo Jones

« on: 17 July, 2008, 04:16:38 PM »

I listened to that last Alan Moore podcast and it's quite clear that he is never going to return to 2000ad. And I understand his decision - that he doesn't want to work on properties that he doesn't own (and fortunately he doesn't have to)

So why not let someone else have a go at writing Halo Jones now? It's clearly episodic, it's clearly unfinished and hopeful Ian Gibson would be up for (at least) drawing it.

I know it would be better if Alan Moore did it. But he isn't going to. And it would get me buying every issue of 2000ad again. And cos its 20 + years later it's hardly sacrilege.

If Rebellion aren't doing this because they think Alan is going to come back - then I think they'll be waiting forever.
If Rebellion aren't doing this because they are being respectful - they are be astonishingly uncommercial for a company that deals with exploiting licensed characters.
And finally if they aren't doing this cos it will upset us fans (my conclusion) - I've got to question this - as long as Ian Gibson is on board and there's a good script - I want to see it.

Would you really be upset, 20 years on if someone else wrote this?  
I know there was talk of Bk 4 Pirate Princess (?) at one point

Help! / Kev walker? cast picture of 2000ad

« on: 09 July, 2008, 03:40:46 PM »

Hi. I always loved the banner with all the 200ad cast on - its used as wallpaper here (far left and far right) its also the artwork on the SFX playing cards box and i swear it was on a huge banner one year at bristol.

has anyone got a good image of the whole group. Obiviously if the artist reads this I'm more than willing to pay for a print etc. Is it Kev walker? might be jocks - help!!!

was it ever on a prog or a retail poster - it's very cool! (Rebellion release it!)

Books & Comics / can you recommend weird 2000ads?

« on: 08 July, 2008, 03:39:16 PM »

I want to bind a book or the weird/unreprintable issues of 2000ad -

I thinking prog 500 all that creator vs tharg stuff, 1280 for the same reason Night 2 remember marshall law turns up, that prog where it was all a dredd and rogue cross-over, and the ish where it was a whole dredd issue dedicated to city of the damned mutant

also maybe the burger wars stuff

can you think of any other odd / weird / unreprintable progs that could fit into this weird grab bag?

nemesis photo stories welcome, even any weird board games

imagine a black dossier LOEG for 2000ad and you're there - any suggestions

Books & Comics / The Complete Zenith now exists in hardback

« on: 27 June, 2008, 03:51:30 PM »

Alright I got all the back issues including the specials, annuals, pin-ups and covers and got a bookbinder to make it for me,
It's about 400 pages and in black leather.

I've got a spare earlier version as well. I'd really advise anyone else to to it as 2000ad issues in bulk are really cheap on eBay and frankly there's no other way its going to come out.

Small probalem was the annual story and zzzzzenith.com being on a4 size paper (ie thinner than the rest of the book) but you can solve this.

Also included that bizarre spanish artist recap. Seriously go and make your own books if they don't exist. Don't know what's next - The Best of John Smith? tempting. Did think of the Summer Offensive as a book but it didn't stand-up too well on second reading!
