Well they are going for a few quid on Ebay and have been ever since they were given away at some exhibition thing.
Anyone know what the actual retail price of these things is going to be?

Thanks for letting us know, as long as there won't be some really rare copies that go 'missing' and so become hugely expensive collectors items!

Please thank him for making the artwork available for sale. (Even if I can't find the money to buy what I'd like)
I must also say I am very jealous of the cash you have to invest in your own artwork collection!

I'll encourage you to buy more than you want for yourself!
Don't know if I could afford it myself but you never know lol (damn why did I have to buy myself a new mattress!). I do know that I'd love a piece of Rogue Trooper in my collection. And it would be good to see any prelim work.

There must be loads of artists who would like to sell more of their past work and thank you Wake for doing all this work for the greater good!
I think I'm going to try and sell some bits and pieces on Ebay to try and raise more money!

I think it was a good story and would have been good to see what was going to happen, but not necesarily as part of Dredd world continuity.

I don't think he could redo the Dredd film again as he's still come up against lots of problems. But given his experience on CSI I could certainly see a dredd world in a CSI/The Shield/Law and Order style program. You can bring in all the elements of the different divisions of the Justice Department as well as the lives of the citizens. So much scope.
And we know that the uniforms and the look of MC1 can be done.
I'd watch it.

Telephone book sized Akira books are always being mentioned and I think the Digital Archive is one area I would agree with that idea.
The Digital Archives sound nice but really at the bottom of my list of must-haves atm.

In terms of prices of things I would also expect that the mass fabrication goods (be it clothes or tv's) has got to a level where it is very cheap to make aso everyone can afford, on benefit or not, to afford the basic versions of most things. So the companies make the money (small profit times the many millions of citizens) and everyone gets cheap stuff.
I'd also guess that it is cheaper to provide people with a decent social security to keep them away from committing crime. That and the tranq-gas of course. If the mind is feeble due to the tv then just makes people more pliable.

Say it's not ?60 ;)

But I must admit whenever I'm buying anything (like in Tescos or B&Q) 'that would pay for a nice piece of artwork.' I'm sure thats not normal or indeed healthy!

?60 is a lot but some of Gibsons work is amazing, but then maybe it's better to try and get a couple of cheaper pieces instead? Swings and Roundabouts. I know I'm trying to get a more diverse mix, it's just the lack of money (debt doesn't count!) thats stopping me.
Saying that theres ?250 in a building society account I won thats in reserve if something REALLY good comes along. Have to be a full story or a pivotal storyline, no spending it on a Jock Cover for instance, however nice they are!

My dad has surprised me, I thought he's be all dismissive like some people seem to be about a collection but he sees it as something worthwhile and real art rather than silly paintings like you get in galleries which aren't art at all. Now if I can get him to buy me all the Dredd GN's I'm missing for my birthday ;)
