Received mine,  very impressed with the quality they just need to chase the spine image, can't wait to they hopefully start the full run

I'd agree about the spine art, what about Chris Weston, Staples, Flint or Tom Foster....

I just collected mine from the Post Office, what nice surprise! Books are lovely and great customer service.

I wonder what it was that, for so many of us who admire Ron's work so much now, put us off when we were younger...

I'm definitely in the camp that marvels at how good his work is now but really didn't appreciate it back then.

He's the king of the weird and wonderful Mega Citizens. So many of the memorable cits are Ron's, Otto Sump, Citizen Snork (brilliant!), Dave the Orang-Utan and his mate, the Blobs, Chopper and the Phantom and the League of  Fatties...

These and others really define Dredd's world for me. 

The citizens these days are a bit of a miserable lot (although, you can't really blame them I suppose..)

Wayhey - they have a DVD listed with the same bonus features.

Great stuff! I don't have a Blu Ray machine either and not even Pat Mills visiting King's Reach Tower would be enough to persuade Mrs Geoff that one was a necessary addition to the house.

Definitely be getting the DVD though.

Another outstanding page! Remember that bottom left panel in particular...those walkways just twisting my mind!

Both of those pages are absolutely blinding Julius!

The Ezquerra DPS is from such a great tale and that image FILLS the page.

And the Fink pin-up is a prime slice of McMahon. Love that period too. Just superb.

He seemed a bit uncomfortable when they kept saying he was the man behind Judge Dredd and he kept talking up the contributions of others.

Yes, I noticed that too!

Love the DPS that kicks off Scarlett Traces - and an engrossing story. Brink's real quality stuff too.

Getting into the Dark judges tale more this time round.

Wasn't keen on the Future Shock and I wasn't as impressed as I usually am with Steve Yeowell's art.  I didn't even immediately identify the first page as his...not sure what it is..

I am most intrigued by how Dredd is going...McCrea's art is certainly lively but can be a bit scrappy at times.

Overall an excellent prog though.

Yep, I'm with Spikes, pretty sound estimates but reckon a bit more could be had, especially for the VCs title page

Don't blame you for keeping the Halo.

Be interested to see it if you don't mind posting it though...

Really enjoyed the two one-off stories. And Foster's art is always a treat!

Heard that programme by chance. Very interesting and always a thrill to hear 2ad mentioned in the wider world...

I recently put a set on eBay (got 2 by accident).

It sold for £156.00 but was unopened. Maybe around £100 for an open one...
