And on a similar note Mark, what is the lower line on the Valet of the Dolls sign? Absolutely love your work, BTW.

It's not the same name - one's spelled J-O-E, the other's spelled J-O-S-E-P-H.   Just because a diminutive name can be short for a longer name, doesn't mean it always is.

Doesn't mean it isn't either, so I don't understand why some folks on this forum insist, on the basis of no evidence whatsoever, that it's a different name when there's a perfectly logical explanation that encompasses both.

Back in '77, or whenever Dredd's first name was revealed, it certainly wasn't as common as it is now for people's given names to be what were previously informal contractions: someone called Katy in '77 was almost certainly really called Katherine, someone called Jim was almost certainly really called James, and someone called Joe was almost certainly really called Joseph.

I don't understand why some folks on this forum insist ... that it's a different name

Who says that?

Arf! Cheers for that!

Brilliiant prog and a phenomenal achievement to get all these greats together.

Hats off to all involved.

One of my (many) favourite bits in Prog 2000v.2 was Boo's page: seems so rare to see a group shot with the 'new' characters, great to be reminded of how much good stuff the Rebellion era has given us.

A rare occurrence - I liked every story in the prog.  Well done, all.

Really didn't see the Dredd crossover coming; and I found Nemesis's antics with the Torquemada holy relics as nasty and disturbing as a  Nemesis story by Mills and O'Neill should be.

Tharg was clearly so pleased to have me back on board with this prog, that when going through the self-service at WHSmiths I was charged £2.55 instead of £3.99.

Really looking forward to reading the Prog (Burnham cover) later tonight.

I ended up with the goofy looking party one the lack of new characters in it is odd...very odd

I see Shakara!, Cadet Anderson and Errol Raine from the Rebellion era, no-one else.  I assume we agree that Dante no longer counts as a 'new' character? Bloody lovely image though, I find the wrongness of it all hilarious.

I got the Robinson cover in the post, but I had to go out and track down the Fabry one as well. I especially liked the Judge Death/Halo Jones/Robohunter selfie photo bit. I wonder what kind of phone contract Death has? He's gonna need unlimited texts for all the 'ssss's' for a start.

I love the two party images (Fabry cover and Robinson poster) but I think the fact that Dredd is still cranky looking in the Robinson one just edges it for me.

The prog itself was terrific, really made it an occasion.

2000 AD reports Prog 200 sold out. For pretty much anything on the newsstand these days, that's a big achievement.

[dweezil2]

That is splendid news indeed!

Congratulations to the mighty one! 

Variant barcode or cover for the completests?

[dweezil2]

Sorry, just read there will be a B+W Fabry cover!

Cool! 

[Jim_Campbell]

My copy still hasn't turned up! Who do we contact about missing sub copies these days...?
