Hats off to the Subs department!

[Red Alarm]

Like a few others on this site, I picked up a copy of the Dredd vs. Death video game a while back.  I was delighted when I opened the instruction book, flipped though it, and saw an ad for a *free* copy of 2000 AD in the back.  Naturally, I followed the directions to obtain my copy... though I wasn't holding out much hope of actually receiving the prog.  Why?  Simple: I live in the US.

So, you can imagine my surprise today when I checked my mailbox and noticed a plain white envelope inside with a "Royal Mail" sticker on the front.  Curious, I opened the envelope to find prog 1250 staring me in the face.

Oh, the joy; there's love for American readers yet!  It was an older issue, sure, but it's also one I wasn't fortunate enough to have, and for that, I am thankful.  Besides, it got here in just a shade over 2 weeks, with the date on the receipt coming from a mere four days ago ^_^

This is pretty much my way of saying "thank you."  A very special thank-you to Tharg, Rebellion, and the 2000 AD Subscriptions department.  You've totally made this yankee's day :-D

Heh, well done!

What was in 1250?

[Red Alarm]

1250 had:

Judge Dredd: Helter Skelter pt. 1
Tor Cyan: Crucible pt. 1
Nikolai Dante: The Romanov Empire pt. 1
Durham Red: The Vermin Stars pt. 1

As the front of the issue points out, it contains 4 "all-new stories."  Good starting grounds; maybe I'll be able to finish them up someday :-D

such things make you feel good.
wonderful team at subs they really are.

i got my judge death key ring when i signed up. which i did not expect as im in singapore. also i get my progs on wednesday each week. only two days after the UK subbers get them. now thats wonderful service.

unsung heros that dept. deserve more praise.

Thats a good idea, giving away a 'jump-on' prog. It was an old one though.

Great news for Red Alarm, hope he does manage to get the rest.

subs are ace,

perhaps you can investigate 'we take a digital file and print em out here' printers in the usa and 2000ad can go bigtime ?

lots of english papers on sale in france are now electronically sent to french printers and created there

its a wired world kids

HELTER SKELTER and THE VERMIN STARS are both available in TPB. There will - I SWEAR - be DANTE books out at some stage...

I picked up a copy of Vermin the other day. Well put togther. My only niggle is that it would have been great to have some form of commentary next to all those images by Harrison, describing the process, or at the very least, some indication as to what we were looking at.

Necronauts and Banzai are next on my list.
