Is there a list of the extended extension that's not on Facebook?

The thing that gets me about Mills' selective interpretation of the rights of the creator (well one of the many things that get me), is that it seems entirely at odds with his oft-espoused very far left, anti-authoritarian politics.

You don't get to write Slaine (and Finn and post-Black Hole ABC Warriors) as mouthpieces for your political bent, venting about man trying to own everything and how we should all leave aside this petty need for control and submit to the Earth Goddess/Gaia/Heckate/Mars, then say "these toys are all mine and no-one else gets to play with them!" It makes him myopic at best and downright hypocritical at worst.

I know there are stories where Mills' authorial voice is so strong that no-one else could possibly continue them, but there are plenty of cases where his authorial voice has long been the problem, undermining otherwise excellent characters and settings (ABC Warriors would be, for me, the shining example here).

All being well I'm kinda assuming we might get a Rogue Trooper boardgame re-issue as well if this one proves worth it.

The Rogue game was wonderful. Beautiful board.

That's some lovely class art right there!

Brett Ewins? He did some lovely stuff for the old Games Workshop Chainsaw Warrior game.

[Mike McMahon]

Mike McMahon for Slaine, Dredd and some of the most amazing ABC Warriors stuff. Does any strip have as consistently amazing art as ABC Warriors?

[Alan Davis]

Alan Davis but I'm cheating a bit as that's mainly for Miracleman and Captain Britain.

[John Burns]

John Burns does an excellent Dredd that I can immediately bring to mind, so that's my tie-breaker.

[Brendan McCarthy]

Brendan McCarthy

I know it's not 2000ad, but the 'Best of Milligan and McCarthy' Hardcover is a comicbook jewel on my bookcase.

[Higgins]

As someone else already said... Higgins for the Shooting Match. I read and reread every panel of that story so many times.

[Simon Bisley's]

Has any artist been as single-handedly responsible for redefining a prog character than Simon Bisley's take on Joe Pineapples?

[Colin MacNeil]

Colin MacNeil

[Ron Smith]

The double boot holsters have it: Ron Smith

[Henry Flint]

Henry Flint, who has somehow managed to replace McMahon, O'Neill and Ezquerra on a number of strips and not be found wanting. Everything he drew on Shakara was a work of absolute genius!

[Simon Harrison]

Simon Harrison, for Revere and for Feral's crazy freak outs in Final Solution.

[Kevin O'Neill]

Kevin O'Neill, even if the only thing he ever drew was 'Secret Life of the Blitzspear'.
