British Update: 2000 AD #1-150
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: That great survivor of the British comics industry, 2000 AD, is featured this week in a near complete run from #1-150 and a couple of specials, including the first Summer Special from 1977. All the significant issues are present; #1 is Poor only at £20, #2 (1st Judge Dredd) Fair at £30, but then the grades zoom up, with very many Fines and even a good showing of Very Fines, rare in this paper quality. Other highlights include plenty of Brian Bolland art (inc his 1st Judge Dredd strip), 1st Robo-Hunter, 1st Rick Random by Ron Turner, 1st ABC Warriors, 1st VCs and 1st Stainless Steel Rat, as well as the first issues after mergers with Starlord and then Tornado. Most particularly, there are really nice FN copies of the two Burger Wars issues (#71 & #72) and the two Jolly Green Giant issues (#77 & #78), each at £25 and much sought after by collectors due to the nature of the material which prevents them being reprinted.
