Still not sure why they changed the 2000AD logo half way through the year. I really liked the Prog Number at the top of the comic under the logo instead of way down near the bar-code.

1- 1746 - Zombo
2- 1729 - Flesh
3- 1760 - Indigo Prime

There are much better bits of art, in my view: Simon Davies on 1751 and Robinson on 1755 in particular. But these three are what I like in a cover. They'd make me want to pick up the comic, thinking "what the hell is going on in this?" That, for sure, is a cover's job.

There's been some real stunners this year, so it was an amazingly hard decision-but here goes:

1st.Prog 1738-Cliff Robinson is a God!

2nd.Prog 1750-Brilliant composition from Greg Staples.

3rd.Prog 1760-I never get tired at looking at Chris Weston's stuff!

Good cover year for me too. BPP's list includes Prog 2011 which has a 2010 cover date so Pete is amazingly correct in including Prog 2012 as it falls within the 2011 range. That is of course the Letters Beast judgement, which is of course the gold standard of all things stats based.

1) 1738 Cliff Robinson - Nice bit of head there.
2) 1750 Greg Staples - Wraparound gorgeousness
3) 1760 D'Israeli - Lovely cover for one of the year's best series.

HM - Chris Weston - only the lack of a big hitter character cost it a podium spot.

Weird dweezil2's match mine in the 1&2 spot - bit of synchronicity as we typed together!

heh, i always include the Prog 20XX as the start of a new year because (1) its on sale during the new year & (2) the issue is the start of the new batch of stories for the year.

One of them innit. No wrongs, No rights. Don't force me into a stat-off baby...

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

1) 1725. The unashamed joy of a massive armada of freaky alien weidoes being rammed with a planet
2) 1752. D'Israeli and his understated Genius. No big explosions or owt, just a bloody lovely illustration.
3) 1746. Henry Flint has done so many amazing covers this year. He really knows how to grab your attention.

ok
1. 1738 cliff robinson (the old boys network of Squaxx amongst us wipe a tear from our eye for this cover)
2. 1750 Gregg staples
3. 1760 D'Israeli

That was almost a painful experience. how can we be asked to choose.  so much pleasure,so much pure joy.

[rattycole]

As everyone has already said there have been some amazing covers this year. So a real tough choice but these are my top 3

No 1: 1752 - D'Israeli
No 2: 1727 - Henry Flint
No 3: 1745 - Neil Roberts

Plus I have to give honorable mentions to these 3 which were so close that if I don't hit post now I will probably change my mind again

1746 - Henry Flint
1725 - Henry Flint
1724 - Liam Sharp

[James Stacey]

1) 1750 - Staples
2) 1752 - D'Israeli
3) 1725 - Flint

Really tough choices and I'll probably change my mind again so I'll press submit quick

[Orlok]

1. 1727- Shakara
2. 1742- Zombo
3. 1724- Flesh

Final answer.
