|
| I thought that would be available, at least digitally, but it
| looks like the only way to do it is to work out which back issues
| of 2000 AD contain it and buy them all?
| toyg wrote:
| I've seen Judge Dredd paperbacks in stores, so it's possible.
| Not all series might have been reprinted at this time, though.

| Off-topic: I notice your quotes are proper left and right
| quotes. On desktop I don't get that. Are you using voice-to-
| text on a mobile OS, or is that an iPhone thing, or a Euro
| keyboard, or what? I've wondered what does that.
| jrmg wrote:
| On the quotes: wasn't even really aware I was doing it. I was

| quotes by default.
|
| Looks like Mac doesn't do it by default, but you can switch
| it on ("Edit" -> "Substitutions" -> "Smart Quotes").

| Rebellion's model is still pretty old fashioned, so it depends

|
| I think there's one collection of _The Order_ so far ("Die
| Mensch Maschine", print and digital), beyond that you currently
| need the individual Progs. I'm pretty sure they are all
| available digitally, but it's not cheap or convenient.
|
| But all of _Nikolai Dante_ has been collected (print and
| digital), there's a digital _The Bendatti Vendetta_ graphic
| novel, most of his Dredd work is probably available scattered
| across various collections...
|
| Instead of trades, a lot of shorter/less popular 2000AD series
| are reprinted in full in the back of the monthly Judge Dredd
| Magazine - the complete _Angel Zero_ is in Meg 370, for
| example.

|
| This feels both like leaving money on the floor, and making
| the content less accessible to newcomers. It's sad :-(
