[Ben Ryder]

Hi Chaps, Chappets and everyone else,

I'm working up to a kickstarter for one of my other passions beside Elite Dangerous, 2000AD The Galaxy's Greatest Comic and was hoping that you clever ladies, gentlemen and everything else would be able to help? How many of you have fond memories of 2000AD or are avid collectors? I'd love to hear your stories of how you got in to it and what you love most about it.

I've started up a small facebook group for 2000AD and Judge Dredd fans who will be able to see previews of the Kickstarter and rewards
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2000adcomics/

There's also a FB page carrying the latest news on the coming Judge Dredd film, Rogue Trooper Film and Button Man. Which one are you most excited about?

I've started off the kickstarter with auctions on ebay for Progs 1 to 100 and the original free gifts starting at 1 penny.

Best wishes your chap in the hat,

Yeh ive been following the TV series for a while now since i first heard that it was being planned. I adore the 2012 Movie Dredd, easily in my top ten movies of all time. This new TV series with Karl Urban onboard i hope follows on from that movie which i feel got the tone just right.

Personally i hope they visit BritCit during the shows run.

2000AD.....yes I recall that. Nemesis The Warlock will always be my favorite story they ever did.

Read the comic from the late 70's up to the early 90's.

2000AD was the best comic out there. Superb art and superb stories. Looking forward to the Mega City One series and I am praying that they do a good job with rogue trooper. I hope they don't do any unnecessary changes and keep it as close to the original material as possible.
