Wagner Dredd missing from trades

[Tu-plang]

Hey all, doing my once-every-five-years post here.

Having followed the PJ Maybe story for several decades, I'm surprised to see the end of it never got released in a book (like pretty much every other Wagner Dredd has been). Having dropped the prog some years ago, I'm finding these stories hard to find.

In fact there are a few gaps from around this time. From Barney:

Mega-City Confidential 5 episodes (Progs 1874 to 1878) 30 pages
Script: John Wagner, Artist: Colin MacNeil, Letters: Annie Parkhouse

Block Judge 10 episodes (Progs 1900 to 1909) 61 pages
Script: John Wagner, Artist: Carlos Ezquerra, Letters: Annie Parkhouse

Serial Serial 5 episodes (Progs 1950 to 1954) 30 pages
Script: John Wagner, Artist: Colin MacNeil, Colour: Chris Blythe, Letters: Annie Parkhouse

Terror Rising 3 episodes (Megs 365 to 367) 30 pages
Script: John Wagner, Artist: Colin MacNeil,

Ladykiller 8 episodes (Progs 1991 to 1998) 48 pages
Script: John Wagner, Artist: Carlos Ezquerra, Letters: Annie Parkhouse

Is there any reason why these might never have been reprinted? Wagner, Ezquerra, MacNeil, all good stuff. Gimme a book!

Mega-City Confidential is in volume 2 of the Mega Collection partwork.

Terror Rising was reprinted in the Blood of Emeralds volume.

And Block Judge got a Megazine floppy!

It's a real shame there's not a final PJ Maybe collection but it's kind of impossible to do one of those neatly, since his story got super tangled up with both Tour of Duty and Day of Chaos. I guess one day it'll all come out in the Case Files. One day...

Is it not just that they're too recent to have come out yet?

[Richard]

None of those stories are recent.

I don't recall PJ Maybe having anything to do with Block Judge, MC Confidential or Terror Rising though?

Block Judge was bagged with Megazine 396

well worth it for 3.99

Thanks for the heads up on a few of those stories--I'll have to track down that Meg with the Block Judge reprint. Specific Mega Collection books are kind of hard to track down here in Oz.

Shame that the Maybe ones might stay in obscurity until the Case Files catch up to them in 10 years.

I'd wager that Ladykiller will crop up in a Megazine floppy before too long.
