Forthcoming Thrills - 2022

[dweezil2]

Been keeping my eyes peeled for this for sometime and finally we have a listing for the 45 Years of 2000AD book that was announced sometime back.
Not able to preorder yet, but there's some preview images that promises it to be something very special!!!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/45-Years-2000-Ad-Anniversary/dp/1786185717/ref=mp_s_a_1_1

They're 'avin' a larf with the Amazon description though (emphasis mine):

Kevin O'Neill is a 2000 AD legend. From working as an art assistant on the very first prog, he quickly became involved in the creative side of the comic, co-creating classics like A.B.C. Warriors, Bonjo From Beyond The Stars, Metalzoic and Nemesis the Warlock.

What the hell is Bonjo From Beyond The Stars?
Still, he did co-create it, so it's relevant I guess.
Any road up, the book is now up for pre-order at a rather reasonable £25!!!
Definitely on the Xmas list!

Cheers for the link, I'll have to dig out the old Progs as I can't recall anything about it.
Also, I edited my initial comment, as it seemed a bit mean.

[The Corinthian]

It's mainly a quarter-page strip in the Nerve Centre but expands to a full page in a couple of progs.

Absolutely fascinating that its in the floppies - Tharg really is experimenting. I guess (???) its a bit like the way that's been used to prelaunch the Encyclopedia?

Of course the most exciting news if LAWLESS. That always makes me happy.

He will find out that even his most outrageous theories cannot encompass what is actually happening behind the scenes of the habitat.

45 Years of 2000 Ad - The Best of Gerry Finley-Day - Hardback, 244 pages, 16th August 2022

"Classic 2000 AD strips from the 'Galaxy's Greatest' ideas man!

From Tammy to the Eagle, Gerry Finley-Day was one of the most prolific comic book writers throughout the 1970s and 80s.

His work for 2000 AD in particular was extraordinary and included such beloved strips as future war G.I. Rogue Trooper, the 'Great escape' in space titled Harry 20 on the High Rock, the Star Wars inspired V.C.'s and a gritty 1970s take on the iconic Eagle character Dan Dare.

This collection contains some of Gerry's greatest work on these strips and more. Tight plots, non-stop action and plenty of thrills are here in abundance and highlight why 2000 AD became the stand out comic title in Britain."

This is an absolute must, very exciting! Love that it's an oversized hardback too.

Some great looking stuff coming out. Rebellion are doing a big job on the 45th and really seem to be getting some great stuff out to celebrate. Look like 2022 will be a fun year.
