Judge Dredd: The Mega Collection discussion thread

[abelardsnazz]

Not all the creators are always listed on the covers, for example last issue Klegg Hai! As John Wagner has had plenty of cover credits to date and Ron Smith hasn't, that could explain things?

Late to the party, I know, but just bought the Necropolis book.  Stunning! I remember how exciting it was to read this in weekly instalments back in 1990, and now its great to see it all collected in an attractive hardback edition. Necropolis is amongst my most re-read Dredd epics, but flipping heck, I just realized I have the whole story 4 times.(The original Progs, the Megazine reprints, The Complete Case Files 14, and now the Mega Collection version). My wife says this is obsessive behaviour (and other comments too, like 'money to burn') so I'll have to donate that particular Case Files to a local charity shop.  Anyone else suffering from multiple version overdose?

Now that I think about it, I must have half a dozen versions of the Apocalypse War..

Progs, original separate vol Titan reprints, the all in one vol reprint, Best of 2000ad monthly, Eagle reprints, luxury black hard cover Titan reprint, the case files, the mega collection and the IDW complete ezquerra.

That's 9 in fact - bloody hell, that's a bit demented...

But I'm probably not alone... (am I?, am I..?  )

Yikes, I forgot The Titan reprints - got boxes full of those in the loft, not to mention The Complete Judge Dredd monthly reprints ( '92 - 97?) and the 80's Eagle American monthlies and, and......

Anyway, thanks Geoff, maybe my wife's right, but...I don't care.

An Apex edition of Apocalypse War?  Hell yes!!!!!!!!!! 

Shame it is unlikely to happen since the artwork is now scattered to the four winds.   

[Spikes]

Apex edition, eh?
Here's the very 1st page. I believe another forumite has the 2nd. Let's see if we can do this.... 

[Geoff]

I've got p2 covered (would post it up if I could) - Apex edition here we come!

Right, who's got page 3...

I used to have a whole stack of Page 3s but my mum threw them out.

28 years old I was.

Etc.

Good man Skullmo! 

[Dash Decent]

Talk about complete mammary loss!

[Tjm86]

You really do need to try and keep abreast of things!
