Always wondered about the JD 200oAD comic strips. Curiosity satisfied now ...

A bit of a misleading sub-title here. It's hundreds of pages; not hundreds of strips. And I wouldn't call it the "Best" of 2000AD, as many of the strips seem to be picked by the handful, mostly from early progs.
But there's some brilliant stuff here - Alan Moore's Future Shocks, initial Rogue Trooper episodes and the superb Judge Death story being the highlights.
It could have been a better, more carefully selected collection, but it still deserves 5 stars because absolutely everything in here is great!
There's Invasion!, Shako, Robo-Hunter, Strontium Dog and Dave Gibbons' Harlem Heroes. Not the complete stories, but think of it as a taster of the best 1970s/80s British comic strip sci-fi, and then look for the graphic novel collections.
A wonderful blast from the past for anyone who read 2000AD in its early years.

A very nicely produced hardback collecting together some of the most well known and memorable strips from the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. It's a great trip down nostalgia alley for anyone who grew up with 2000AD, and also strikingly indicative of how much the magazine has developed over the last 30 years.

This was my first introduction to 2000AD and this volume does a fine job of hitting you with a variety of early stuff. There's a fun one-off from Grant Morrison in here, but mostly I enjoyed the imaginative, pulpy goodness of Dredd, Flesh, Stronium Dog and Mean Team.

Great fun, although a few of the strips haven't aged very well.
