British Update: Free Gift Farrago: The Thrill-Power Begins! 2000 AD #1-3 (inc. 1st Judge Dredd) with Free Gifts
*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 after debuting in issue #2. This update we’re featuring the first three issues of 2000 AD, 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. Comic (GD/VG) and gift (VF) together priced at £225.
#2: 1st appearance of Judge Dredd. A tight flat GD/VG copy with good staples and decent page quality, no wrinkles or creasing, light foxing at page edges. The Free Gift, Biotronic Stickers, are unused on original backing sheet and grade at VF. Comic (GD/VG) and gift (VF) priced at £300..
#3: Pages a little whiter than #1 & #2, tighter at spine, graded at VG/FN, with Free Gift, Red Alert Survival Wallet, at VF, never having been assembled and still on original card backing. Comic and gift together on sale at £125. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
