I just bought JD case files 1,2,3......Nemisis Vol.1 and Stront Dog S/D files 1!  

Can't wait to get to Stront Dog 3 now after all the praise its had!

I take it this zenith is highly collectable and not in reprint format then?  I was looking at halo jones novels which ones come first and in what order?

Thanks guys, alot to think about there. Is there anywhere on this site where I can find out how to build a collection of these characters?  For instance Slaine, which novels to buy first and read in what order etc...?

Are the extreme editions new stories like the meg or are they reprints?

Halo Jones, ok I'll look it up. Thank You

Hey everyone,

I have been interested in 2000ad since the 1990's but my interest wained during my late teens as it does, so I am very much behind on my reading and I would like some guidance on reading material!  I have a near full collection of Megs and thought this would be a good thing but I have been reading on here recently that it is second rate when it comes to 2000ad.

Even though I do own 600-700 2000ad's, most of them are scattered collections off of ebay in my desperate bid a few years ago to have them all, and as such were not read. Obviously I read the ones I was buying in the 90's on a weekly basis (hence my love of sinister Dexter) but I am a little bit weird on that front as I hate starting things half way thru.........So I  gave up.

What I need now is inspiration from you hardened fans.  I am buying all the case files of Judge dredd and Strontium Dog in due course but I am interested in buying into more characters as they seem to be hugely popular on here.  I enjoyed Sinister Dexter a lot so i am open to everything.  I didn't like Nikolai Dante but I have heard good things about Slaine........and ABC warriors looks amazing!  So guidance on building collections (which graphic novels to start with, chronological order etc..) of new characters and inspiration on new thrills that I have missed out on would be greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty much looking for advice on reprints guys!  How far are the Judge Dredd Case Files gonna go? Is there any graphic novels I need to buy up that will not be printed in the case files?  I've pretyy much given up in owning all the 2000ads

Nobody?

Hey guys,

Been trying my best to buy up lots of 2000ads, megs etc...

I recently bought a full collection of megs from Mr Bishop and happily reading through them.  I have hundreds of 2000ad's but it was getting somewhat hard and expensive to get a proper collection so I stopped!

I was very happy when I seen the Case Files coming and have started buying these at 3 a month.

But what I want to know is if there is anything I will be missing out on. I am also going to buy the Strontium Dog case files aswell but I just need to know if there is any "epics" I should be buying that will not be in the case files or the megs etc...that is essential to the time line.

sorry for being a n00b!

Oh right sorry, I thought I seen some harbacks on amazon.  If I'm totally wrong then please excuse my stupidity

I'm wanting to but all the Judge Dredd case files, but I want to know is if it would be worth paying the extra few quid for the harbacks instead of the paperbacks from a collection point of view.

Went to see David Bishop last night, very nice guy. offered me some ad's but I already had them.  The novel thats gettign re released is this one http://www.2000adonline.com/?zone=prog&page=specials&choice=tpo

thanks floyd, seems like quite a friendly board so far. Think I might subscribe to extreme then if it gives the best of 2000ad as I find a lot of ad quite hit and miss, especially when I was collecting during the 90's.

Thanks for all the posts guys.  I am LITERALLY walking out the door to David Bishop's house to pick up all my megazines. weirdly excited. Seeing as noone said I should get anything signed, then it will be a quick visit.

He has a history of 2000ad novel coming out, looks tasty.  He sold one on ebay last week

p.s. could someone tell me what the "banned" issues are as I thought there was only one and that was Burger Wars, what issue was burger wars?  I fancy collecting the banned issues whatever they are. History lesson please

Is there anyway of viewing these online

Thank you forall the quick replies. After that advice I will most definetely be buying the case files, I will also buy the strontium dog ones as i have heard nothing but good things about this strip.

So what are these extremes then?

Is david bishop worth getting anything signed by??
