Classics Compendium Phonebook GN?
« on: 28 January, 2012, 05:41:33 PM »
The announcement that 'Death Planet' was getting the 'floppy' treatment got me thinking - how about a phonebook sized graphic novel of all the old classics strips that don't/won't get a book of their own? I'm thinking of strips like 'Death Planet', 'Ant Wars', 'Angel' (rubbish I know, but still...) 'The Visible Man', 'Shako', 'Project Overkill', 'Colony Earth' and so on (there are dozens of them, some of which have appeared in Extreme Editions)... Maybe call it '2000AD Blasts from the Past' or something (not a great title but then, I'm not in marketing!).

I like that Idea Hippy, Some of the stories are 'b' classics, and some are just so shite that they are great, stand up Angel. I liked colony Earth too, I ashamed to say!
 Id buy that Casefile.

Thank you! It's the classic compendium format that makes 2000AD great - okay, you don't love 'Colony Earth' but you've got 'Ant Wars'/'Shako'/'Time Quake' etc to make up for it... There are 3 volumes here, at least...
