I was just browsing on the Internet and came across some new Marvel Comics Library editions which are utilizing some new reproductions techniques. The accompanying blurb states that:

"The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction...Each page has been photographed as printed more than half a century ago, then digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing".

I was wondering whether such a process could be used by 2000ad to improve the quality of some of the older stories which have suffered repro issues along the way? I leave this question open to others who have more extensive knowledge of the matter than I. (But it's a thought at least?!)

I will have to look out for when an updated physical copy is available - I wonder if we will be notified when they are first out??

Do these Regened issues still outsell regular 2000ad progs as I think I read somewhere in the past?

Case Files 22 is scheduled for reprint in August next year.

Hackenbush - Which was the Ro-jaws/Deadlock story? I can't seem to place it.

Are we thinking that we might get a reprint of the physical version at some point? Or, is it more likely that just the digital copy will be amended? Being a perfectionist and completist I would by another trade paperback to replace my erroneous copy, but would others do the same?

Sorry Funt Solo - I didn't realise that the latest instalment was also called 'Fiends of the Western Front'. All very confusing as you say; but let's just hope it all gets collected eventually!

[Hellman of Hell Force: Fiends of Ungeistwelt Ost]

It deliberately doesn't include the new Fiends of the Western Front, because reasons. Also, it doesn't include the very recent Hellman of Hell Force: Fiends of Ungeistwelt Ost - because that's more of a playful name drop than anything.

'Fiends of the Western Front' is included in the Ultimate Collection book, but will not feature in the upcoming Rebellion volume (out in December).

I think I remember reading somewhere quite some time ago that all the content for these Hachette Partworks was selected personally by 2000ad editor, Matt Smith. If this is so and if that esteemed gentleman is reading this (and also providing all the decisions have not already been taken) please could we have a second book of 'The Order'? Pretty please!

I still hold out hope of a second 'The Order' volume to complete the series. It is a lot more deserving of a place than some of what has been collected.

You might want to move this post to the 'Classifieds' section where more boarders will see it and may advise you better?

More 'Stickleback' is great for me.

I was always a big fan of Ron Smith's art...

Can anyone recall Slade's first appearance in Mega-City One? Was it in a Dredd story which I have forgotten?

Thanks, Dash. Are you sure about the 1980 Sci-Fi Special?? Nothing Strontium Dog listed for this on Barney. Maybe another text-only story?
