I'd buy them in either B?W or color format. My comic shop has a copy of "Portrait of a Mutant"...how does that stack up?? I think its the one about Johnny growing up with a Nazi-like father or something...

I love the idea of a Judge Dredd colouring book.

It wouldn't be hard to do - just photocopy some pages, or scan in the colour stuff and run them through photoshop to get b&w lines.

Maybe I'll make one, one day, and send 'em round everyone for Christmas.

er... coff, coff, coff...

Ban Christmas! Hate, hate, hate!

Seriously, I reckon they should give it a go - ie mebbe in the mooted 'SD Extreme Edition' they could do a colourised 'Bad Boys Bust' or sommat, to try out the idea.

Not sure why we need the stories coloured in now...they were fine in b/w were they not?

reprint, yes. Colour, no. If it was meant to be B/W, leave it like that.

'Well someone wanted a colouring book :D'

Inspired by an article about sad 2000AD readers in the 1982 annual, I followed the example of '2000AD's Greatest Fan' Mark Sheridan, who carefully coloured every black-and-white page of his progs using artists crayons - making him the only 2000AD reader with a collection in FULL COLOUR!

I therefore have prog 214 (including an episode of 'Portrait of a Mutant', which brings this message slightly back on topic) which has been labourously coloured in with coloured pencils (crayons being dismissed as 'too childish', and the felt tip pen experiment causing a series of unexpected disintegrations).

Unfortunately, it looks shite.
