*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: At the beginning of 1977, around the onset of punk music, a comic was launched that captured the zeitgeist of the times, more anarchic and anti-establishment than anything that had come before it in British comics, no more so than in the persona of Judge Dredd, the iconic anti-hero who has gone on to become legendary. Whilst not being particularly rare, the early issues of 2000 AD, particularly with Free Gifts present, continue to be in high demand. This update we’re featuring issues #1 & #3 with Free Gifts:
#1: Featuring the debuts of Mach-1, Invasion, Harlem’s Heroes, Flesh and the new Dan Dare. A clean and presentable GD/VG copy with good staples, moderate light creasing and light tanning of the pages, but no brittleness. The Space Spinner is present, virtually unmarred by the passing years, and is graded VF. The tape securing the gift, although no longer doing that job, remains on the cover.
#3: (2nd Judge Dredd) Good staples and decent page quality. The Free Gift, Red Alert Survival Wallet, although not the freshest example I’ve seen, is still excellent, never having been assembled and still on original card backing.
PICTURED: 2000 AD BOTH SOLD
#1 GD/VG WITH FREE GIFT VF £250
#3 VG WITH FREE GIFT FN £125
