Fun, but dated. I'd have to say no and why hardback? Unless it was a moonrock incrusted hardback.

It has a low page count for its own volume and would fit the euro style hardback, Like Fiends of the Eastern Front, very well.

I just love it, one of the best one offs I've read in 2000AD.

I know the anser is its been reprinted before, but you have Alan Davis work, which must count for something.

Anyway, I'm not trying to convince anyone, just to get an idea of what interest there is.

For me, the missing option was: "I really liked it as it was one of the first "complete" stories I read in 2000AD, but I'd probably just dig out the Progs if I really felt like re-reading it."

No, you want is 'I have it already' option.

But it's not a reprint I have.

I have it already and personally feel that reprinting a story which has been reprinted three times already is pointless when something else like say Canon fodder has never been reprinted.

No, but you have the strip already and you wouldn't buy it again.

I appreciate you're probably just being pedantic, but it is (I think) obvious what the poll questions generally mean.

While you could probably describe it that way, for once I wasn't being deliberately pedantic. As I know this story's been reprinted a couple of times recently I didn't think it was clear.

To be fair, I always read things too closely and, thus, have dreadful problems filling in government forms and workplace questionnaires.

I  worded my post wrongly I meant It is pointless for me to buy it not that I wouldn't want anyone else to get it if it did come out.

I voted for  No, because I have a reprint already

Saying that I do still want that Canon fodder E.E

In the European hardcover design?

With a new Alan Davis cover?

As the poll says Yes, like a shot.

Yeah, I only have few of those progs featuring 'Harry High Twenty' and I was facinated by the design for the floating prison.

( Was that a dodohedron?)

Though only if I have money left over from my  other purchases.

Yes I would.

This is one of my all time favourite stand alone stories in 2000ad.
