Any subscribers received their hard copy yet?

Great Chris Weston cover and inside you can almost hear a Pin drop.

Great Chris Weston cover.

Dredd. Williams, Weston, Blythe & Parkhouse bring back the inaccessible Pin, and to great effect. This one is going to be a goodie.

Indigo Prime. Dunno, looks lovely though.

Anderson. Pass

Absalom. Deeper in to the dark heart of the satanic mill with the Guvnor stealing the show.

Thistlebone. The folk horror revival continues, although I feel this one might read better for me in the trade.

Pick of the prog is Dredd. Will this story see the Pin drop?

Anyone fancy the eighties covers book from the ultimate collection?
Here's one for the usual charity auction deal. 99p start and free postage.

Cover by Neil Roberts

Dredd: New Blood 2 wraps up the story with something Spode should have seen coming. More interesting artisitc choices and a fun call back to classic Dredd.

Tharg's 3riller: the Chimera 3

Kingmaker: Ouroboros 10. They shall not pass! Which is pretty much what Dredd said on the Hotdog Run.

Max Normal 9.

Scarlet Traces: Home Front 7. D'Israeli's colouring is outstanding and nice to have Brum TV's Kay Alexander take a leading role.

And as already described in the Beast thread there is a letters page about the Regened issue.

Some more charity items from another kind donor. 50% of the sales goes to cancer research UK, and 50% to the Parkinson's disease society.

First up is another rare Planet Replicas Mark II Lawgiver, brand new, only unboxed for the photos.

And the Planet Replicas metal Dredd badge, not very many of these around and a hefty item.

All are 99p starts with free postage , and all are 100% for cancer research UK (which I can't spell correctly in most of the listings) so please have it.

As for the signed photo of Pete Wells with a pint and a pasty? Well I'm keeping that for myself and those special moments.

And there are more to come tomorrow including a limited edition Lawgiver and metal Dredd badge from Planet Replicas so stay tuned.

Dredd - Kenneth Niemand again, and Nick Dyer cursed earth artwork.

Lawless - does a talky GoT politicing episode with Phil Winslade's amazing penwork ruling the roost. And a Landraider appearance?!

Storm Warning - wraps up with some more spooky stuff.

A Tale from the Black Museum by Rory McConville and Neil Goodge. Obvious cricket bat from the Cornetto trilogy but don't recognise the axe (but should do).

The Torture Garden looks creepy but I haven't read this one yet.

Interrogations with Geoff Senior and Abigail Bulmer, and the floppy is Mind Wars vol 1

Pick of the Meg is still Lawless but I enjoyed the wrap up of the Dredd cursed earth story.

Another busy episode at FCBD in London. Recorded a podcast, went to two signings, spent some money in FP and Orbital, and had a pint or three with the Southern Contingent.

And here are some lovely things for charity. Let's start with the biggie:
The Villains takeover special signed on the cover by Greg Staples, Matt Smith, Pye Parr and Keith Richardson.


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233218585530

And the Funny Pages FCBD issue signed on the inside cover by editor Robo-Keef himself.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233218587538

A copy of the Ro-Busters Complete nuts and bolts vol #1 kindly donated to the cause by Keith.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233218601103

And then for anyone who is interested I have the contents of the Forbidden Planet FCBD goody bag:
FCBD issues of
Spider-Man
Avengers
Spawn
Dragonflyboy
Stranger Things
My Favorite Thing is Monsters
Deadly Class
Starburns presents #2
Bloodshot
Interceptor
Doctor Who

I don't know what half of them are, but every comic has its devoted fans. Check my other items for details.

Also on offer
Two different cover versions of the DC zombie title DCeased #1, both signed on the cover by Trevor Hairsine.

And IDW Judge Dredd Toxic #4 cover B

All of these are 99p starts, with free second class P&P from me, and all are 100% for cancer research UK so every penny goes to a good cause.

There is even the now traditional copy of the Morris Minor magazine, also for charity.

And finally, I also have another spare (unsigned) copy of Funny Pages which I'll send to the first forumite to pm me in return for a £1 on my Justgiving page. But pm me first, when it's gone it's gone.
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/megacitybookclub

And that's it. I'm now feeling weaker than Greg Staples' wrist after he had signed all the Burdis progs, so I'm off for the traditional lie down with a damp prog on me forehead while the first lady revives me with pieces of Greggs vegan sausage rolls dipped in soft southern shandy.

You know what to doi.
Cheers

Cover by the six million dollar (and correctly attributed) Steve Austin, colours by Chris Blythe.

I've got three boxes of progs I want to get rid of.
About 350 issues from about Prog 150 onward.
You can see a list of them here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1lUJzC6fUJzsQNdvUm-wDr4JoLZp0rHp6P6gRW0WvDZQ

Also a whole bunch of Megs and a fair few more recent progs.

They are in three magazine sized comic boxes, they are mostly in bags and boards, and are free to anyone who wants them.

The only catch is you need to be able to pick them up from either my home in Ely, near Cambridge, or my workplace near Wisbech in North Cambridgeshire.

Anybody want them?

As posted elsewhere this is the advent calendar Christmas raffle. All proceeds go straight to cancer research UK through my Justgiving page.

First prize: the limited edition Judge Dredd sketchbook featuring reproduced art by all the droids you can see listed in the picture above. This is signed by 40 droids including John Wagner, Mick McMahon, Glenn Fabry, Ian Kennedy and Matt Smith,

Second prize, a slightly battered copy of the tenth anniversary hardback reprint of case files 1, with the book plate signed by Carlos and John.


Third prize: a copy of prog 202 signed by John and Carlos

Fourth prize: a copy of 2000AD's greatest hits signed by John.

Raffle tickets are £2 each, you can buy as many as you like but only one prize for entrant.
Don't add gift aid as you are receiving a virtual ticket for your donation
Do please tick the box that allows me to contact you if you are a lucky winner.

A key prog which arrived a day early this week. Thank you, Mr Tharg.

Cracking cover by Cliff Robinson with Dylan Teague's colours being the star for me.

Dredd: The Small House wraps up in 8 pages with a new iconic Dredd panel by Williams, Flint, Blythe and Parkhouse. [spoiler]"This is my house!"[/spoiler]

Brink. I don't know what she's doing but I'm fascinated to find out. A Le Carre triple cross in a space tincan? The Spy who came in from the Cold Equations.

Sinister Dexter returns with a voyage to the bottom of the sea and 10 pages.

Kingdom: Alpha and Omega continues with the Abnett droid writing 3/4 of the prog and the last page ad is for his Lawless strip in the Meg as well.

A cracking prog with a superb Dredd moment. Has that page gone already, Wiggz?

Couldn't make it to the Arthur Ranson signing at Orbital? Or to Brumcon?
Or maybe you would just like to contribute something to Cancer research UK at this sad time for 2000AD fandom.

Here's an opportunity to help.

First up: The new edition of Mazeworld and an original sketch both signed by Arthur Ranson at Orbital comics in that London last night.


https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232955261960

The Brumcon poster showing John and Carlos reflected in Dredd's visor, signed by John and by the artists Damian Edwardson.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232955278331

And a Rogue Trooper by newest art droid Paul Williams
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232955287157

All 99p starts with free p&p and 100% of the price goes to Cancer Research UK.

No jokes this time, cancer is terrible. I believe one day it will be either completely preventable or treatable. The 2000AD community is helping to bring that day a little bit closer.

I have a couple of other items with multiple signatures which I will be raffling for the same cause sometime in the run up to Christmas.

Cheers, all.
Eamonn

Tuesday?



Great Tiernen Trevallion cover for a new thrill.

Judge Dredd Razorjack story ends with fabby art from John Higgins.

The Returners reveals how you make a modern Invunche, sort of.

Devlin Waugh gets in amonsgt them.

Karl Stock writes an interesting article about getting a Future Shock published in the prog. Should be of interest to many.

Then a two page special on the new Mongoose miniatures Strontium Dog game.

Chopper blows stuff up with a Kaleidoscope.

Finally the new title story from Gordon Rennie, Tiernen Trevallion, and Annie Parkhouse. Looks beautiful and starts very promisingly. It is another secret agency that battles occult threats for Her Maj's government which hopefully will tie in somehow with Ol' Harry Absalom and his crew.
