Back in the late '80s and early '90s I did. I liked Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog (can't remember who did a mesh of him. Tommy, maybe?), Slaine, and DJ and Quinch, couldn't get into Halo Jones. One day I'll figure out how to do Nemesis the Warlock...

Yeah, but Pan with a cape, sword, and other weapons. It's beyond my skill set at the present time.

Big 2000ad fan here. Dredd was one of the first comics I ever read. Love the dark judges. Look into some other like nemesis the warlock a complete head melt. Flesh is great idea too as is rogue trooper

The last movie was very good. Much better than Sylvester.

There was an intergalactic trucking company that was funny, then it got weird.

And Rogue Trooper was good, and ABC Warriors...

One day I'm going to do Big E, who was the host of another comic which was eventually merged with 2000 AD. Dave Gibbons posed for the picture... in costume.

I'm somewhat of a Judge Dredd fan, but haven't read much 2000AD, beyond some issues from the mid-80s which featured D.R. and Quinch.

Speaking of Dredd, I'd love to get my hands on a copy of issue 350 of Judge Dredd The Megazine, if I could afford it and find a reputable source.

I might be Captain Obvious here,but I found it easier to read collections then single issues.Skipping from story to story is a bit confusing for me.

I used to have a b&w tpb of the original Dark Judges arc, but I've either misplaced it or given it away. I know for sure I wouldn't have tossed it out.

I've got a bunch of the American reprints.

In a box with the rest of my life...

I had to abandon a bunch of the original progs because I just didn't have room for them.

@daglob You meant Ace Trucking?

Got the Brit-cit Noir.Inspector Strange is awesome.Kinda lik John Constantine with a skull for face. :)

That's probably it. Hmmmm... how obscure is Inspector Strange? ;)
Title: Re: 2000ad
Post by: HarryTrotter on April 28, 2016, 04:40:32 AM
I think he only shows up in one story so far,so pretty obscure.

Well, take Tommy's Spirit mesh and do a body swap with Beyonder's Beta Ray Bill...

Not sure if Spirit would fit.Im sure somebody skinned John Constantine by now?

Im leaving the skinning to the pros anyway.  :)
After reading DR and Quinch,I have to say Alan Moore truly is(was?) a genius.
Like,whatever happened to Alan Moore,man?

I heard he did some stuff for a foreign company.

Post by: HarryTrotter on April 28, 2016, 06:35:59 PM
I meant currently,like after his work for Image and Wildstorm.I heard he wrote a Crossed miniseries recently,or something?

Oh yeah,prog 1977 had Tharg's origin story.And Judge Dredd is dead.Maybe.

I'm sorry I can't contribute anything to this discussion at large, as I'm pretty unfamiliar with most of these characters, but it occurred to me that what you need might be Val's Forrest God, which is Pan with a cape and a spear, along with appropriate animations.
