I was granted eARC access to 2000 AD Encyclopedia by Scott Montgomery via NetGalley by way of auto-approval with the publisher on that platform。 Thank you again for the access！ My thoughts are my own and my review is honest。 This was a step into something new for me， and I enjoyed my experience。 I grew up in the sort of family that views comics as childish things and doesn't understand the difference between graphic novels， mangas， and comic books， so this is a world I'm only just starting to ex I was granted eARC access to 2000 AD Encyclopedia by Scott Montgomery via NetGalley by way of auto-approval with the publisher on that platform。 Thank you again for the access！ My thoughts are my own and my review is honest。 This was a step into something new for me， and I enjoyed my experience。 I grew up in the sort of family that views comics as childish things and doesn't understand the difference between graphic novels， mangas， and comic books， so this is a world I'm only just starting to explore as an adult。 Being a sort of guide to the world and characters， this book was a very interesting way to wade into the 2000 AD world。 As someone who hadn't read a single issue before， this has me feeling confident that I wouldn't need to track down #1 and start all the way back there in order to have the slightest understanding of what's going on。 I enjoyed meeting all of the characters， learning about the world， and reading about the history of this world， and now I'm sold！ I want to read the regular issues now and see them all in action。 For fans who are already familiar with the series， I imagine this will be welcome and intriguing bonus information that serves to enrich a world and cast they already love。 The artwork is stunning， as I would only expect it to be in an established series like this， and I love the way this book was laid out。 The mix of illustrations dispersed through the pages and text overlayed in the empty spaces over full-page illustrations keeps everything feeling fresh and interesting， and the choice to make plenty of page backgrounds any colour but white is great！ That definitely made it all feel much more exciting and immersive。 Thanks again for access！ This was a lot of fun and a great way to get my feet wet in a long-standing property I had previously missed out on。 。。。more

It's been around a decade since I closely followed the Galaxy's Greatest Comic。 This book has convinced me that's far too long。The 2000ad Encyclopaedia is a monumental work。 Cataloguing every strip that has gone into the last 44 years of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic is no mean feat。Each entry receives a brief plot synopsis followed by a bit of background and opinion from Montgomery。 This is where the book really shines。The writing is appropriately brief but every word is punching it's weight。 Eac It's been around a decade since I closely followed the Galaxy's Greatest Comic。 This book has convinced me that's far too long。The 2000ad Encyclopaedia is a monumental work。 Cataloguing every strip that has gone into the last 44 years of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic is no mean feat。Each entry receives a brief plot synopsis followed by a bit of background and opinion from Montgomery。 This is where the book really shines。The writing is appropriately brief but every word is punching it's weight。 Each entry includes a list of recommended stories or just appearances if there's only a few。It's well illustrated but just enough that there's still plenty of room for text。I think the ideal use of this would be someone either getting into 2000ad for the first time or getting back into it after years away， as I intend to do。 Any references or characters can be looked up to get a quick synopsis。Going through the book there's dozens of stories I've read and completely forgotten。 The brief synopses brought them back to me incredibly。 There's still more that I wasn't familiar with that have come out in the intervening years。This book is an incredible ambassador for the ridiculous level of variety that Tharg has brought us over the years。 Splundig Vur Thrigg！ 。。。more

This is a must have for all 2000 AD fans out there， which include Judge Dredd， Rouge Trooper， Strontium Dogg， Slaine and Tank Girl。 It covers 44 years of goodness， and believe it or not， 40 featured characters are found on the cover alone。 To say this book is packed is an understatement。 It starts out with a list of the characters in alphabetical order and on which page to find them。 That list alone made me head spin。 Each one is highlighted with their background， story importance， appearances， This is a must have for all 2000 AD fans out there， which include Judge Dredd， Rouge Trooper， Strontium Dogg， Slaine and Tank Girl。 It covers 44 years of goodness， and believe it or not， 40 featured characters are found on the cover alone。 To say this book is packed is an understatement。 It starts out with a list of the characters in alphabetical order and on which page to find them。 That list alone made me head spin。 Each one is highlighted with their background， story importance， appearances， tidbits， and more。 If a comic fan needs information or a bit of clarification， this book definitely will fill any gaps and more。 Plus， there are other historical facts and interesting bits of information thrown in to give this one a very， all-around， information flair。The characters are illustrated and presented in their original and well-known style。 Thanks to the tons of information， the graphics， while well done， don't have full-page displays， which would really knock this one out of the park。。。but it would make a colossal sized tome， too。 It is great to see each character and get to know them and revisit them。 The writing does make each bit of information entertaining and fun to read。 I never felt it was dry， and even I as a non-comic fan， was grabbed in and want to learn more。 Fans of these comics will enjoy this book quite a bit and I can see it being an amazing present or surprise， too。 So， yes， I can recommend this one and give the author a huge thumbs up。 I received an ARC copy and love the plethora of information in this one。 。。。more

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Rebellion 2000AD for an advanced copy of this new comic reference guide。 Judge Dredd， Tank Girl， Rogue Trooper， Sláine， Strontium Dog。 If you know even one of these characters， you need to own 2000 AD Encyclopedia， by Scott Montgomery。 This guide features every character that has appeared in both 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Magazine， celebrating 44 years of publishing。 The Encyclopedia is well encyclopedic。 An A to Z guide of characters， with biographies， fir My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher Rebellion 2000AD for an advanced copy of this new comic reference guide。 Judge Dredd， Tank Girl， Rogue Trooper， Sláine， Strontium Dog。 If you know even one of these characters， you need to own 2000 AD Encyclopedia， by Scott Montgomery。 This guide features every character that has appeared in both 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Magazine， celebrating 44 years of publishing。 The Encyclopedia is well encyclopedic。 An A to Z guide of characters， with biographies， first appearances， creators， key stories and issue numbers。 Occasionally there are supplemental reports with behind the scenes information， historical notes， fun facts and trivia。 The art features the classic artists and the best representations of the characters and they look fantastic。 Everything can't be a full page spread as some of this art deserves， but it is still impressive to look at， and the sheer volume of illustrations makes up for this。 This is beautiful book for fans of British comics， or comic fans in general。 To flip through is to see long， long running storylines， classic characters and many that have been unfairly forgotten， or later misused。 The price point might make it a little tough to justify for new readers， but for fans or people who want to know more about what English nerds were reading， and continue to read， this would be a good book to invest in。 。。。more
