The initial run of Rogue Trooper has to be fairly high on the list?

RT is possibly the most maligned popular 2000AD character. Even Pat Mills never misses an opportunity to stick the knife in. I haven't read it in over 25 years but it sure still looks nice.

Mills is extremely supportive of Gerry Finley-Day as a writer, and was instrumental in getting him back to work on a special one-off Rogue Trooper story a few years ago. Presumably, Mills wasn't a fan of the formulaic Horst stuff or what came after it, but then not many people are. Alan Grant is a more frequent critic of GFD's story telling (and typing) abilities, partly because he had to perform un-credited rewrites on his scripts to make them fit for publication.

Yeah, I must get round to reading it again, there was also something about the Venus Blue Jeans story line teaching young boys to distrust women!

Nah, Sister Sledge had already taught that long before Venus came along.

Did Hamlyn collect any? or IDW in the classics. Any continental reprints?

Other near contenders would be The Cursed Earth of Apocalypse War. The horned God had huge sales in the continent as well as various American and British Editions as did the Dredd/Batman in various languages on the continent.

Maybe Terra Meks was just wishful thinking. I still say it's the best 2000AD story, every home should have one.
