Anyone got good suggestions for Reprints in the Meg?
Something to thrill, excit and ...well fit the print run and Thargs deep pockets...
Judgement Day
Daily Star Dredds
Given the reprint they are using now, it defies all logic that they arent using this natural source of thrills - theres a good number of Wagner Grant material still out there. TO be honest, given the "meh" nature of the reprints they are using, I'd actually prefer to see Millar Daily Star dredds - at least I wouldnt have seen them before!
Dan Dare
Doomlord
Some of the old Dr Who classics
Best of Crisis
What about the War of the World adaptation that precedes Scarlet Traces (although the format might be a problem)
oh yeah Doomlord (the story called the Gemini Plague was it?)or the first run of the new Dan Dare (would love to read the Firefly story ark again)
:: Judgement Day
Blerk. No thanks. For those that want to read this, buy the trade.
:: Daily Star Dredds
I like that idea, plus, from a cost standpoint, perhaps the b/w art might help. It's certainly less hassle from a repro standpoint.

It's lovely, but I'd prefer everyone went out and bought the fantastic Dark Horse collection, because it's so utterly fab.

Point me in the right direction and I shall. Web fu has been letting me down on tracking it.
Andy, if you are thinking of going to Bristol- wait and get it direct from either Ian or D'Izzy. Both will be in attendance and the funds will go straight into their beerfund.

Okay, great suggestion! I'll certainly be buying Scarlet Traces from its creators at Bristol. Good call!
Not only that, but they will happily sign the books as well, and being the lovely chaps they are- will no doubt be happy to chat to you for a minute or two.

Big Dave, with all new Big Dave material as well, and the Meg renamed to "Bog Dave Monthly".
Think 'Bog Dave' is a different kind of mag though...
Bolt-01
Or Big Dave Monthly. Either works.

Lets face it, it's where it gets read.
Charleys War!
...is that the same War of the Worlds strip that was posted on the net on a daily/weekly basis while the film was out???...
Yes

Your web-fu needs work, my son. Try Amazon UKâ??the book's a bargaintastic £6.85 on there. Its ISBN-13 is 978-1593074746. Also, Scarlet Traces is just £7.12 (with a fuckwit 2/5 reviewâ??nice to see Amazon never put up my counter to that twat's piece), and Kingdom of the Wicked is there, too, for £8.99.
Negative vote for Daily Star Dredd reprints. I hates thems with a passions, Mr Johnnys, sir.
My vote for reprint is none at all. Cut the megazine down to the same amount of pages as the weekly, at the same price, and call it the Judge Dredd Weekly.
In my fantasy land - it all makes perfect sense.
(Or fortnightly, if you think it won't shift.)
(Bring me my Mongo hat - I'm telling Rebellion what to do again.)
Another vote in favout of Daily Star Dredd. I mean it's Judge Dredd, it's by John Wagner & Alan Grant, Ron Smith, Ian Gibson, and Mike Collins and it's new to the majority of the audience. How is that a hard sell?
I'd rather the Meg be cut from 4 strips to three longer strips and a dozen pages of DSD and directly linked comics material. Bish, bash, bosh.
Art, I may have to go back in time and brutally kill all your great great grand parents before they met thier respective spouces just for suggesting that
>:(
lol
however you may get a repreave for the reading in the bog bit
Big Dave, and a new Big Dave...maybe where he goes to the after-life for more Sadam bashing!!
Big Dave takes on Osama Bin Laden, Kim Jong-il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad...AND ONE MUST DIE!!!
I'd but it Mr Virgo!!
I'd pay money to see Big Dave kicking OBLs kidney dialysis machine down a hill.
You see...Art has 'it', the gift to paint a picture with his very words...I must see that in print...get it done for Zarjaz Art...
Bilal and Christin's The Hunting Party,
it was first issued as episodes in Heavy Metal I think, so it should be structured for monthly release, maybe even the right size too
Canon fodder
I doubt I'd ever be able to match the insanity and wrongness of something like Battlefield Bulger... That said if anyone wanted to do a Star Scan of Big Dave kicking the afformentioned terroristic medical device into a ravine (in the style of Steve Parkhouse) I'll happily provide captions and speech bubbles.
they could always finish the Dan Dare (with Copsmic Claw) story or Black hawk
Dredd: Lawman of the Future stuff? If only cos I want an EE of them all...
I've only got most of the first twelve of these. And they are almost all drokking Stomm. There are some interesting things in that artists and writers who were working here went onto work in the regular prog eventually (Alex Ronald for one) but the stories are poor.
Bolt-01
Marshall Law or Accident Man...or why not do a 'Heavy Metal and buy up some EuroMills Claudia yarns
Some of the annual and specials Dredd stories that never made it into the Case Files? They may be poor but they are at least rare and old enough to be gaps in many peoples collections.
If the Claudia I read is any indicator, they shouldn't bother. Yawn...
Link: The Fall 06 Heavy Metal...
Some of the old Dr Who classics
If you mean the old Marvel strips there wouldn't really be any point. Panini own all the rights to that stuff, and they pretty much have it in hand with their(excellent) GN series. Or were you talking about the old TV Comic strips?
Though I have already made my request via a e-mail to Tharg himself with connection to the 'Ask Tharg' thread a short while ago.
I'll just repeat it again for everyone who cares.
I like to see that all the Slaine stories that happened beteween end of the 'The Horned God' and the start of 'Books of Invasion' reprinted and there were also a few one off stories of Slaine. I think one of those one-off stories was called 'Devils Banquet'. I'm not really sure though.
Unless they are already planned to follow on in the same series as part of the current line up of 'Warriors Dawn' and 'Time-Killer' graphics novels.
I just re-read the heading of the topic.
Just don't completely disregard my request even if it's not quite on topic.
As Rebellion ownes Starlord and Tornado, stories from those. Timequake, Angry Planet, Blackhawk, Benkei etc etc.
From 2000AD, the early Dan Dare and Visible Man.
Chris
Visible Man was reprinted in the eary days of Volume 4 so it's too soon for that one. The Starlord/Tornado stuff floats my boat. Angry Planet!
Wouldn't mind seeing the madness of Blackhawk rearing its bald head again, but maybe better suited to an EE?
Wow! How cool must it be to have a pal called Blake?
- Trout
Or if Wake had a brother called Blake!
You could pretend to be that brother - then you'd be Wake's fake Blake.
Who's a Sheik.
New Statesmen.
If you were made of cake you'd be a baked cake fake Wake's mate Blake who's a sheik.
Did I take that too far?
- Trout
and if he were taking back handers...
A baked cake fake Wake's mate Blake who's a sheik on the take...
Well done, Larf. You're forgiven for straying on-topic. ;-)
- Trout
..er why, was he a thief - eh?
Albion, with all the old sixties comics and a interview with his nibs Mr Moore, yeah I know not very likely
Nuffsaidhuff
I read somewhere that Garth Ennis War Stories was considered for reprint. I've got it (twice) but I'd love to see Condors on a larger scale. Carlos' best work? Possibly.
And similarly there's White Death by Robbie Morrison and Charlie Adlard. War comic with an unusual comic to tell by creators from 2k which most of the audience will be unfamilar of.
And if Blake had Parkinsons...
Albion, with all the old sixties comics and a interview with his nibs Mr Moore, yeah I know not very likely
Feh, Albion was terrible. Lets see Jack Staff! Or Kane! (or hell, Insiders from Crisis I've been wanting to read that) Give Paul Grist some well deserved Exposure.
Adventures of Luther Arkwright.
I'd be up for Arkwright, any time I see anything about it it gets me intrested and certainly not something thats widly available. Aside that Mills Heavy Metral stuff wouldn't be out of place.
CU Radbacker
Just finnished Jack Staff GN 3 Echoes of tommorow- i think its a ******* great read,
i keep rereading/going back to 1 & 2 as well its that good a series. Albion sounded good but just didnt cut the mustard im afraid (bit **** really).
So if we could have a vote on it - Jack Staff!!!
Any announcements by this chap would surely be written:
Thus spake a baked cake fake Wake's mate Blake who's a sheik on the take...
I enjoyed Albion, if only for spotting half remembered comic faces from my long lost youth, not the well thought of ones, lKelly etc but the lesser mortals, and the underlying dyke thing, oh and the art was good
DollmanHuff
If he spoke at a funfair, then:
Thus spake a baked cake fake Wake's mate Blake who's a sheik on the take at a fete.
