The most powerful moment I've ever read in a comic book was probably the bit of the apocalypse war when the judges meet some citizens with radiation poisoning, begging for mercy. More of an 'absolutely terrifying comic book moment' - even now - than a remotely cool one, but brilliant nevertheless...

2000AD always felt pretty schizophrenic when I used to read it. Plenty of juvenile and low quality stuff, but I loved Halo Jones, Zenith and D.R & Quinch. IMO, Zenith is the greatest out-of-print comic along with Miracleman.

Judge Dredd
Slaine
Nemesis the Warlock
Halo Jones
Zenith
Canon Fodder
Song of the Surfer
Big Dave
ABC Warriors
Hewligan's Haircut

All classic stuff.

DR & Quich fell a bit flat for me.

I fondly remember those days when I was a student in Manchester,England. There were many cool(zarjaz!) moments in 2000AD not least in the strip of the cover star shown above, Sam Slade, Robohunter. The art was absolutely gorgeous. And all this in black and white except for maybe the centre pages!

Damn that is one of the defining moments in moving me from kiddie comics to real quality stuff. Probably helps this was the first Dredd I ever read too! Much, much love for Carlos' art too.

Ooh, 'Gaze into the fist of Dredd' is an amazing moment. Brian, you've got to do that.

More 2000AD! This 'year of cool moments' needs to include "Gaze into the fist of Dredd!" Seriously though, i think we should have a Too Much Testosterone week to counter-balance the tearjerkers week, featuring the above moment and a boatload of Garth Ennis (personal fave is "Glock's a wankers gun" from the Boys)

I've gone on quite enough about my 2000ad love on previous threads here. So this time I'll just quickly say great choice. Here's to a few more from The Galaxy's Greatest

Why, Brian, TWO 2000AD Cool Moments in the first 40 so far!?!

You are spoiling us!

Thought you might have gone from the more iconic cover (#262 I think?) of the badge with the bullet hole, but Mega-Kudos for picking this!

[By the way, I think should be "Dredd sneaks into the East-Meg One TV Studio and confronts..."]
