Notes[]
Released in December 1999. Not to be confused with 2000 AD Vol 1 2000, released in 2016.
Trivia[]
- Features an advert for the upcoming Nikola Dante saga 'Tsar Wars' (with art by John M. Burns), a picture of Bad Company by Brett Ewins, and a picture of the ABC Warriors by Ashley Wood.
- Several pages are devoted to (a) letters from readers and (b) 'Tharg's Thrill-Power Death-Match', in which all the thrills published so far in 2000 AD are pitted against one another in a knock-out competition to decide, in a totally unscientific way, which one is the best. This feature contains amusingly acerbic remarks about some of the less popular stories.
