2000 AD is a weekly British comic book series that was launched in 1977. Most of the content in this comic sized magazine featured science fiction and fantasy stories with commentary on pop culture and world politics. Many established comic book legends have contributed to this periodical including Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, Alan Davis, Grant Morrison, and Garth Ennis. Over the 2100+ issue run of 2000 AD magazine there are numerous issues that sell well online because of their content. Almost all of these are printed in a way that makes them ineligible for grading by CGC or CBCS.
.
Here are just a few issues that I would like to highlight.
.
The first issue of 2000 AD was published in February of 1977 and featured a Dan Dare story. This book came with a “space-spinner” frisbee and can sell for $800 to $1000.
.

The second issue of 2000 AD features the first appearance of Judge Dredd – a character who appears in the majority of the issues of this periodical. This book sells for $300 to $800 depending on its condition and came with Biotronic Man sticker tattoos.

2000 AD #149 features the first appearance of the Judge Dredd character Judge Death one of the four Dark Judges. This book can sell for $60 to $100 depending on its condition.

2000 AD #150 features the first appearance of Judge Anderson. This female judge was given multiple mini-series and is featured prominently in the 2012 Judge Dredd film.

.

.

2000 AD #224 features the first appearances of three other Dark Judges – Judge Fear, Judge Mortis and Judge Fire. This book sells for $40 to $50.

.

.

2000 AD #228 published in 1981 features the first appearance of Rouge Trooper. Rouge Trooper is a genetically engineered, blue skinned super-soldier created by Dave Gibbons and Gerry Finley Day. While there hasn’t been a Rouge Trooper film or TV-Show, this character has been adapted several times in video game mediums starting with the 1986 Rouge Tropper First Person Computer CD-Rom and has several comic book series.

.

.

2000 AD #376 is a solid $30 book featuring the first appearance of and first part of the Ballad of Halo Jones. The Ballad of Halo Jones was a science fiction comic strip by writer Alan Moore and artist Ian Gibson – this entire series was reprinted several times – and once in color for the American audience.

.

.

One last 2000 AD book that I like (and that I think is underpriced) is the first appearance of D.R. and Quinch – the Alan Moore / Alan Davis alien duo that have many college inspired adventures. They first appeared in 2000 AD #317 and had their very own story published in 2000 AD #350.

Those are just some of the key issues of 2000AD that I wanted to highlight. Do you have a favorite issue that I might have missed? let me know in the comments or on social media!
