I wondered if there was going to be any further Savage prints becuase the "Taking Liberties" book has a "1" on the spine which made me wonder if there was going to be any more.

I've had a look for the Extreme Editions on Amazon and Ebay for Harlem Heroes and Meltdown, details of which I found on a website.  No luck yet, but I will keep an eye out.

How does "The 86ers" stand in the Rogue Trooper universe?

Way years back I read 2000AD and I seem to remember an 'origins' story about Johnny Alpha showing the initial resistance movement on Earth against Nelson Bunker Kreelman.  There were, if I remember right, a lot of the familiar mutants in this storyline but I can't remember the name of the story arc.

This site has the full list of artists and writers

The artwork varied, some was excellent, some was pretty bad.  Redonda, who did the origins of Torquemada in Nemesis the Warlock Book 1 did artwork for an issue called Pirates of the Ether Sea, his style is instantly recognisable.

By the way, there's an RPG having been made with a free PDF preview download featuring some of the artwork if people are interested in checking it out.  However the website is down just now.

Does anyone remember these?  About the same size and format as the war themed Commando comics, and from the same publisher, DC Thomson.

They ran for 281 issues and while maybe regarded as a bit basic by todays standards there was some enjoyable stories among them.

Mornin', and welcome.  I think you'll find The Trigan Empire is far from obscure around these parts!

Good to hear, I used to think I was the only one who had ever heard about it.  

Dandondare.  It depends what series of Space:1999 is being repeated, series 2, the one with Maya is far inferior to Season 1.

I see mention of a character called Cinnabar, what exactly is that, since there was a semi-recurring character by the same name in the DC Thomson Starblazer comics.

What do they mean by a case files reboot though.  Honestly, I've not long bought the 6 Rogue Trooper books I have, and I'm loath to rebuy them.  I'd much rather buy new material.

I've collected a lot of the reprints recently from the early days of 2000AD.  Recent purchases have been...

The VC's
The ABC Warriors:The Meknificient Seven
Rogue Trooper-All six books
Nemesis the Warlock, all books
Invasion and Savage:Taking Liberties
Ro-Busters

My knowledge of some of the newer stuff is a bit hazy, but is there a Savage story after the events of Savage:Taking Liberties.

Also, are they planning to release any more Rogue Trooper stuff.  I'd never read Realpolitik before, but remembered elements of Regene, but the book ended at a bit of a cliffhanger.  Is there going to be a continuation?

Another thing, would 2000AD consider reprinting the Harlem Heroes.  I know the German team shouting Sieg Heil is a bit...unPC, but the story that I read in one of the old 2000AD annuals from the 80's was enjoyable enough in its own way.

My names Douglas, I'm 38 living in Ayr in Scotland.  Mostly interested in sci-fi.  Comic wise the old Starblazers (not the anime style ones, the Commando style books), older 2000AD like The VC's, Flesh, Rogue Trooper, and a rather obscure comic strip called The Trigan Empire.

TV shows I like include Space:1999, Doctor Who, The IT Crowd, Red Dwarf, Life on Mars, Battlestar Galactica, Babylon 5, Spaced, etc.
