2000AD Biblography?

Is there a definitive - or near to - list of every 2000AD and related book available?

I started out looking to see which 'Judge Dredd - the Complete (insert artist here)' Books were available but thought it'd be handy to have a list of everything.  By Books, I mean everything from Annuals up to the current 'Mega collection' with everything in between.  It'd also be useful if this included books on or about 2000AD.  Anyone know if such a list exists?

Thank you./

Well, you can start by going to Barney
http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=reprint
which lists pretty much everything that has ever been collected from the early days, although it fizzles out around 2010.

If you hunt around on that amazingly useful website, you'll get a complete listing of everything that has been in every Prog, Meg, Annual, Special and so on, up til a couple of years ago (but maybe it'll be updated one day), including details of reprints up to 2010ish.

However, from that point on, basically everything that has been collected is available through the 2000AD webshop here:
http://shop.2000adonline.com/categories/graphic_novels
which will empty your pockets of money pretty darn quick if your in the mood for Thrill Power!

But I don't think either quite counts as a Bibliography in the sense you mean, and both miss out on the odd story that have been collected by other publishers.
(e.g. Really & Truly was collected in a big Rian Hughes book; Tales from Beyond Science was collected by IDW I think)

What we could do with, as collective fandom, is an updated version of Touched by the Hand of Tharg
http://www.2000ad.org/thrillpower/

Which is a very easy to navigate site, and, more to the point, entertainingly-written. It holds an A-Z of every series to run in the Prog and Meg, with details of where and how it has been collected
-except it's maybe 10 years out of date.

Thanks, that's helpful.

But What I'm really looking for is a straightforward list of BOOKS, soft or hardcover in some sort of list by order ; IE, The complete run of Titan albums, Annuals and in particular the 'Judge Dredd- the complete..Cam Kennedy ' or whomever.  In addition any memoirs, Guides to...Im surprised one hasn't surfaced..but thanks again.

I don't know of any.

Regarding the IDW 'complete' series

Carlos Ezquerra 1&2
Brian Bolland 1
Cam Kennedy 1&2

There would have been regular and collector's editions of at least the Bolland ones, possibly the Ezquerra no. 1


I don't think there have been any others - and one of the Ezquerra ones manages to miss a page off the end of a story.

Thanks. That seems very incomplete RE 'The complete' which is a shame as I love that format although the story drop outs when another artist appeared are annoying.  http://www.idwpublishing.com/product-category/judge-dredd/

I wasn't that impressed with the Bolland one - the Judge Death lives repro isn't great - the Titan hardbacks are much better.

It also omits a lot of covers and other art.

I'm not sure you can blame them for not having another artist if it's an artist's collection - Brian Bolland, and a bit of Mick, and some Ron isn't quite as catchy.

I really enjoy the immersive effect you get from reading 'Big books'. A shame Kevin O'Neill didn't do enough Dredds to warrant a collection...
