I'd be interested to see which other characters Rebellion has bought - apart from Roy of the Rovers. I can't see Roy Race appearing in 2000AD (unless he's reinterpreted in some way). Nor can I imagine Rebellion would launch a new Roy of the Rovers title. But perhaps there are other characters that might reappear?

I hope some of the old Tiger, Star Lord and Battle strips are turned into graphic novels. I'd reread some of that for old times sake

I have a copy of Who Shot Roy Race in German somewhere... bought it on my holibobs as a child!

Wow, I'd forgotten about Star Lord! Also forgot that Strontium Dog originated in that before 2000ad got it...

Just found this site, too:

Anyway, roll on collected editions of Oink!

Thanks for the link mred2000, shame that the cheap paper IPC used hasn't aged that well as the scans really don't do the terrific artwork and it's detail justice...

My collection of 2000AD are just as bad, if not worse!!

The Beano is published by DC Thomson, not Rebellion. Oink also can't be collected, as most of the strips were creator owned.
