'Strontium Dog: The Son' features the following stories:

The Son
Once Upon A Time In Der Vest
The 'Nobody Wants This Job' Job
Max Bubba Hadn't Killed Wulf
Valhalla
Sleeping Dogs Lie

Only one of these has been reprinted before - the 'What If? Max Bubba story'. The Judge Dredd story 'By Private Contract' did not make it in.
I have just pre-ordered my copy of the exclusive Webshop hardcover.

Regarding the 'Strontium Dog' book - Is this volume going to include all the stories from the beginning of the 2000ad run and omitting none? If this is the case and if this edition goes up to everything including 'Portrait of a Mutant', then that's eight different stories and quite a hefty page count. Personally, I am hoping that this is the case and nothing is left out. What do other's think?

I guess that 'Stickleback' volume 2 is not going to make it. A real shame.

General / Best of 2000ad vol. 1

I have just seen the advert for this on the website (arriving September) and wanted to clarify if there is any unseen material. It states in the blurb that it is a mixture of modern classics and gems from the vault, but it does say there will be an explosive "new" Judge Dredd adventure as well as a vintage Dredd case. Does this mean a brand new story or just something fairly modern and recent? It mentions the Dredd story 'Mutie Block' which doesn't ring any bells with me, but someone else may recall it?

My vote goes to the Mean Machine. Would love to see a collected edition of all his adventires.

Thanks for the feedback. The general consensus seems to be that it will be one worth picking up. I'll give it a go!

Would the Revere and The Dead volume be worth picking up? I am totally unfamiliar with both strips and need someone to recommend or otherwise.

This story also appeared in the 'Judge Death' volume published by Titan in 1983 - possibly this could be used as a future source for reprint.

Is it possible that one day as technology improves we will be able to scan direct from the Progs (or in some cases the Titan versions) and achieve good results without being plagued by issues such as moire and the like?

Going fast from A Place In Space: 92 sold, only 42 left as of about 7 pm. Make sure you get your copy before they're all gone!

It looks increasingly like 'Stickleback' and 'The Order' will not get second books. Much to my chagrin.

There was also a band Poster Prog featuring 'Funeral For A Friend' which is listed as appearing in this Case Files. Being a hardcore completist I am glad these two have been included, although I always thought the Restricted Files would have been a better fit for them.

Slight aside - does anyone know if the original, uncensored art for 'Bank Raid' still exists?

it would be kinda hard to do a second book of the order when the first one came out it was up to date since then there has been two more series

Couldn't these two more series as well as 'Inbetween Days' (Prog 2182) be the basis of a second book; bringing us right up to date? (Or am I missing something important here?!)
