Alan Moore's Twisted Times & Shocking Futures
Got bidding on an copy of Shocking Futures on ebay a while ago but after it got up to over 20 quid I gave up.
At least one time twister has been reprinted in an earlier Extream Edition so why nolt go the whole hog and reprint them all.
I tell ya it's a gold mine!!
What ya think??

thats a decent idea.
though there are plenty of potentail title for the EEs. its a very good collection format.
alberd snazz with the double decker brain.
now he deserves an EE on his own.

I believe Jamie commented on the possibility of a Future Shock EE, and I think the problem of page size changes and the move to colour across the years meant a *really* comprehensive selection was out of the window.
I don't see any obstacle to reprinting a selection from a relatively narrow timeframe, though - so a selection of Alan Moore FS/TT tales would be entirely possible...

I'm sure we'll get a nice EE or pb of FS's and TT's at some point, and it'd be nice to see one with a mix of writers that would cover Alan Grant, Mark Millar, Grant Morrison, Jamie Delano, Neil Gaiman, Alan McKenzie, John Smith and others. I reckon Alan Moore should get one to himself, perhaps an expanded version of the deleted Titan titles (although, without Moore's permission, we probably wouldn't have his excellent intro's to the books)?
As for the Two-Storey Brain, we are never likely to see a complete collection, since the second story (unknowingly) ripped-off an already extant sf story (possibly by Ursula LeGuin, but I can't remember off-hand), so Moore has asked for it to never be reprinted.
If you're on the outlook for the two Alan Moore books, it's worth shopping around. I've seen copies sell on ebay for up to fourty quid, yet I picked mine up for a fiver each, and I've seen some pass with no bids at all!

Not really bothered about the ones by Alan Grant, Mark Millar, Grant Morrison, Jamie Delano, Neil Gaiman, Alan McKenzie, John Smith and others.
Just want to see the Moore stories collected, everything else just doesn't come up to his standard.

Good idea Jonathan!
I'd like to see Henry's early Dredd stories, 'Dance of the Spider Queen','Mrs.Gunderson's Little Adventure' and'The Trail of the Man Eaters' put together.
I've got a couple of cool pages Henry half finished that'd be great extras.
Or the Robusters and Stronts from StarLord.
Plenty to go on really.

I'd just like a series of GN's of all the Future Shocks.
Not like they're going to be reprinted anywhere else and theres 387 of them! Loads of scope for a series not just a one off.

I`m with Byron on this one. An EE of Moore`s and an EE of mixed FS`s would be nice
As for other writers not coming up to Moore`s standards, from the reprints I`ve seen not all of his FS`s were brilliant. I think some of them are invested with brilliance retrospectively because of what he went on to do

Of course, don't forget that Futurequake!, the quarterly comic of ideas Tharg rejected fantastic one-off sci-fi and fantasy stories has issues 1-3 still available to buy from...
