Best Prog ever

[Funt Solo]

Prog 335 is (for me) a strong contender.

It's a jump-on prog, with that excellent cover and a free poster (thus the sticky tape mark).

Judge Dredd: The Graveyard Shift
Slaine: Warrior's Dawn
Nemesis The Warlock: Book III
Strontium Dog: The Moses Incident
Rogue Trooper: From Hell To Eternity

theres the possibility ythat the Rogue reissuesmight lead to a reapparisal and abit more voting for Rogue, who at time i did my list last, was the "weakest" link with an average of 7... off to check what it is now....

"Prog 335 is (for me) a strong contender. "

Actually, that's an _excellent_ choice, though I'd put the Rogue story down as being nearly as weak a contribution to 335 as the fly that is Mean Arena in the otherwise unsullied ointment of 228 ...

Cheers

I went back a bit further in my search to the early to late 100's but Wolfie Smith & Blackhawk amongst others scupper my choices there.

If it wasnt for the disco dancing Rogue this may have made it on to my short list.

I'd go for 424. An iconic wraparound cover to start followed by the best letters page ever - every one a ?0 winner.

Add to that The Midnight Surfer, cracking Alpha, Slaine as good as it ever got and Rogue too. Add to the mix Anderson fighting the Dark Judges before they became passe and a future shock and you have your definitve prog.http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c118/button71/424.jpg">

I remember sprinting two miles to the newsagent to get the first episode of 'the horned god'. Don't recall the number but that's definitely a contender. apart from that around the 300's which i collected retrospectively, which were probably the comics 'classic' period.

First one I ever brought!!!!!http://www.2000adonline.com/covers/2000ad/mediumres/361.jpg">

Hows this, one of my fav progs: prog 310:

Judge Dredd Starborn thing (and under a stonking cover)
Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons ChronoCops
Skizz
Fort Neuro
and finally, a Tharg story (invasion of the thrill snatchers)

(Plus inside John McCrea reader art Judge Toyah)

It's a great prog and will always warp me back in time to being 13 and sitting in my room copying pictures of Dredd.

No, actually, I think at that point I was much more obsessed with Rogue Trooper.

Nice Cover

>Zenith
>Phase 3: War in Heaven Part 1
>Slaine: The Horned God Book I
>Judge Dredd
>In the Bath
>Rogue Trooper
>Cinnabar
>Tales of the Doghouse
>Ratty

a great Dredd episodes, Rogue at his best & Zenith elevate this above the average, but The Horned God & Tales Of The Doghouse bring the thrill levels down.

228 is a good choice, I like Mean Arena, ( I can't wait for the day when all sports are played with helium filled steel balls) shame it's not Steve Dillon art though. Consider...


PROG 207,

Classic Dredd, Meltdown Man, Return To Armageddon, A Future Shock I don't remember and The Creep Who Stole Croydon (Mainly 'cause I was just wondering last night whatever happened to Tharg's evil Brother?)

Course 206 is even Better 'cause Strontium Dog is there in place of the Creep...

or 217 Johnny Alpha, meltdown Man, return to Armageddon (It's one of my guilty pleasures),
an all time Classic future shock (the Unsoppable Platinum Horde!!!) Not the best dredd though

[Rosso]

'but The Horned God & Tales Of The Doghouse bring the thrill levels down. '

Man, you've got to be kidding!
For me the horned god was a bit of a disapointment in terms of the story, which never really got going, but the art work was breathtaking, particularly seeing it for the first time.

You and me both ;)

I felt the same way when I found a neglected cache of 200's and 300's in a cardboard box in a closing down sale.

The shop was one of those pointless (wannabe FP) places that sells framed 32mm film strips, acrylic busts of The Punisher and tatty, limbless Starwars figures for stupid money.

I spent about an hour and a half re-reading them, sat cross-legged on the floor the odd shopper stepping over me before closing time when, much to the consternation of the owner I bought as much as I could carry for a fiver.

Idiot shouldn't of let them go for less than the original cover price. His loss, my gain.

Don't ask me to pick *one* best prog- I just can't do it.

Fond memories of Cam Kennedy's first Dredd though.

Just looking at the high res scan (follow link) I noticed the bottom of the image looks like it's been inked by Robin Smith..

Not the first time I *think* I've seen his hand in another artist's work- some of the Ron Smith Block Mania panels look like they've been tweeked by Robin's brushes.

Logan am I imagining things?
