Anybody know anything about these Dredd prints for sale...?

They don't look licensed but I'd consider shelling out for this one if I knew the print was good quality. Anyone know anything about them...?

I'd love to sell A3 prints of classic vectorised images like these, but I don't want to get into trouble. I emailed Rebellion asking how to go about it, but never got a reply so I reckon I'd best not risk it

I'd love to have some inexpensive posters of retro classic 2000ad characters. Something you could frame without having to fork out hundreds of pounds.

I'd love a massive wall sized print of those images.... cooolll..

I certainly wouldn't charge hundreds - maybe around twenty five quid(ish) or so to cover printing and postage. I'd have to have a word with my printer mate. Still, this is all academic.

What would be the rules on one-off commissions, though? (It's just a case of "tracing" existing images as vector files so that they can be blown up to any size without them becoming blocky or distorted. No great skill involved - just a lot of patience.)

Jesus Christ on a bike, I wouldn't spend that much on those tiny prints Blackmocco, what a pisstake that is!
At least Sharks idea has an affordable price tag!

It comes to something when we are all forced to make our own merchandise. I wonder if this point will ever filter through to rebellion?

Shall i pop down to Boots and get a few prog cover mugs made up, while we're waiting?

Aye, well they're not cheap for sure but the one I've linked to says it's 36" x 24" which is a decent size for a print. I'd probably think about it if I could be sure the quality of the print was top-notch, y'know?

It does bring up the point, as just mentioned, that there's a market for this kind of merchandise that Rebellion doesn't really seem to take any advantage of. I s'pose I'm showing my age now but I fucking loved the line of 2000ad t-shirts from the 80's. Loud and brash, just like the comic was back then and nothing they've released in the last twenty years comes close to matching. Boring, bland designs.

Even getting Bolland to do those fucking giant Dredd posters was champion. Used to have the Judge Death one.

COMMANDO FORCES · 31 March, 2011, 05:23:13 PM

I have the Bolland Dredd on the computer but not the Death, I'll have to get that sorted but just for you, here is the Dredd one

I still reckon those prices are taking the piss and I'll buy any old tat

I used to have that Dredd poster on my door. Then I thought it'd look better coloured in and set too with my felts. My green ran out before I got through one boot though and the poster was ruined.

Yeah, I think most of us have a similar story like that. I remember reading about some fan who'd colored every issue of 2000ad with coloring pencils and feeling profusely jealous, thought I should try the same....
