Title: 2000AD Prog 1849 cover 1 of 2 wanted.
Post by: dweezil2 on 17 September, 2013, 01:37:38 PM
Anyone got a spare they wouldn't mind selling, to spare me trawling all the WHSmith's of the south!

Many thanks!   ;)

Mine's gone unfortunately but... normally it's cover variant 2 of 2 that seems the difficult version to find (in my experience anyway)... any idea why version 1 of 1849 seems difficult to find this time around?

Good luck. I'm sure someone around here will have a copy...

Cheers dude!

Funnily enough my local Smiths only had cover 2 of 2.

Yep, we had this with the last variant covers.  I think they are good for Rebellion as they seem to sell more copies but unfortunately they mean that ceratin areas/shops all get the same one and there is no option on the website to specify.  ::)

I got mine from an FP in the midlands and they were all #1s.  I believe if you phone Rebellion then they can sort you out with the one you want.

Someone offered me too much for mine (not that much mind!) and I told them not to be silly and halved the offer... they seemed very pleased... maybe they got outbid on that one on eBay!  :lol:

Every variant since ive been buying again has been 2 of 2, round our way. Not seen hide nor hair of any 1's.
And yes, they do seem to fetch a pretty penny, over on e-Bay, dont they.  :'(

I had a bugger of a job finding this.  Don't know where you are, but I eventually found that Forbidden Planet in London had plenty, if that helps.

That would be me who bid on the cover, the lad I was bidding for is over the moon :D

Arrived today btw and its perfect. Sent a email with a pic to the dude and he was asking if he could pop around Saturday morning when he lands. I told him to bugger off at 4am xD

Thanks again btw, you made a friend of mine very happy :D

Personally I am happy with whichever cover I get, its the stories I buy it for not the special covers.They are only gonna be read once and then in a few years go back to certain progs for storylines etc.

I saw that auction for the other copy of cover 1 of 2, went for £37 in total in the end xD mad amounts of money just for a cover of the most recent issue 0.o

I have simply used the 2000ad web shop and used the "additional info" box to specify my needs, and it works very well (for retailer's price of course + 2£ for P&P for France).
