Comments:

Original coloured material are reproduced in this book in shades of grey. Note that unlike the UK edition the 2000 AD logo on the cover is leaning, and there is a mention of DC Comics on the spine.

This reprint (identical to the 2005 UK reprint) also features:

• authors mini bio
• 5 reprinted covers in B&W: 2000AD #125, 130, 132, 135, 138

This reprint doesn't features (see previous UK reprints):

• Any introduction whatsoever
• 'Prologue' and 'Epilogue', a 6 pages strip never published in 2000 AD commissioned by Titan Books for the 1983 reprints and featuring Howard Quartz, Miss Marilyn and a Mark 10 war droid.
• the 'Flesh File' page introducing Golgotha's strip
