2000AD once again proves why it's the greatest comic on the planet

Just dug out my Heavy Metal Dredd Bisley book.  It contains 8 strips, which the inside covers states come from Rock Power 1-5, 9-10, 12

They are
1. Untitled: Song "Heavy Metel Hero"
2. Untitled: Dredd Kills Father Christmas
3. Untitled: Tommy - Love Machine Wizard
4. The Great Arsoli
5. Chicken Run
6. Ironfist: Live at the Mega-Dome
7. Bimba
8. Untitled: Johnny Biker

No I'm not Dave D from Winchester - I'm Dave D from Gloucester!

As for Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch ... Well I work with someone called Mick who is onlt five foot four inches tall.   Another guy in the office is definately Dozy, and the boss has a big nose!  Will that do?1?

Cheers for all the info.  

How many "Heavy Metal Dredd" strips were there?
And is there any that haven't been reprinted?

I have the "Heavy Metal Dredd" book with the Simon Bisley strips in, and I remember a John Hickleton strip turning up in the Megazine.

Just wondering how much Dredd I'm missing!

Doh! Thanks for that.  Now I feel really stupid!

To jdmobius.

I am probably doing something incredibly stupid here, but using the link you supplied only takes me to the recent End of year Progs (Prog 2000, Prog 2001 etc).  I can't see any poster progs.

I did check the site for info on poster progs before first posting this query.

Sorry if I am being dumb and missing something obvious!

Thanks for all the information.  This is certainly the most friendly and helpful board that I have used.

I am definately after all the poster progs and absolutely kicking myself for not buying them when they came out.  I will have to start checking e-bay for them.

DavidXBrunt - Please let me know if you you dig out any spare copies.

Not sure why I never got them when they came out.  I suspect they came out between '92 and '95 - I was living over in Belgium them and relying on my Mom sending 2000ad over to me in batches every six weeks or so.  I lost a bit of interest in 2000ad them - a combination of the long wait between batches of progs, plus the lure of all the Belgium beer!!!

Thanks Watcher.

I want to try and track them down, so now I know how many that I am looking for.

I remeber that 2000ad launched a series of poster progs, each with a single 6 page strip.  I never got any of these at the time, but now regret it.

How many were there?  Who of? and have any of the stories been reprinted anywhere?

Cheers

Cheers for that.  Nice to know that I now have them all, thought I was hoping there would be more I didn't know about.  

Return to Casablanca would be excellent.  Here's hoping someone commissions it soon.

Ref: Chinatoon. The "Bargain Bin" that I found them in had several copies of each issue in, so keep looking out for it Paul.

I had no idea the film had been made.  I remember murmourings that it had been optioned, but I thought it had led to nothing.

Thanks again

 

While at a Comic Mart the other week I came across all four issues of "The Bogie Man - Chinatoon" in a bargin box.  I didn't even know this existed, so I was very happy to part with 4 x 50p.

How Many "Bogie" Stories were released?

I have the original graphic novel that contists of "Farewell My Looney","The treasure of the Ford Sierra", "To Huv and Huvnae" and "The Wrong Goodbye".

I also have "The Manhattan Project" as serialised in Toxic (I think).

And obviously I now have "Chinatoon".  Does anyone know if Wagner and Grant wrote any other "Bogie" Stories?

Cheers

Dave

Cheers for the information.  The memories are flooding back.  Grange Hill (How could we forget that one), Automan and One by One.

Thanks for the Grange Hill spoofs too.  Best laugh I've had for a while!

Can anyone help me out with a something that is bugging me at the moment.

I was in the pub the other night with a couple of like minded friends.  The subject got on to 2000ad artists who had worked or started on other British comics.  

We recalled all the great John Burns artwork in Look-In on "The Tomorrow People" and Arthur Ransom's work on "Sapphire and Steel".  Then my friend Pete reminded us that John Burns had also drawn a strip based on "The Tripods" for the BBC's short-lived rival to Look-In (called BEEB (?) we think).

We then spent the next hour (plus numerous hours over the last couple of days) desperately trying to remember any other strip from "BEEB".  We reckon that they all must have been pretty dire if we can't remember a single one of them, but its still bugging the hell out of us at the moment.

Can anyone remember any and put us out of our misery?

Cheers

I have recently started getting back into American comics again, havinf just moved into an area that has a local comic shop (No back issues unforetunately).  I know that Alan Moore has four series on the go at the moment (Promethea, Tom Strong, Extrordinary League of Gentlemen and Top Ten).

I have the E.L.O.G. Book One Graphic Novel plus the first 4 issues of Book two, which I presume is the complete series so far.

I also know that there are Graphic Novels for the other three series available, but can anyone tell me the issue break down.  (i.e. Promethea Book One runs from Issue 1 to ???)

Thanks in advance

Dave
