List of minor 2000 AD stories

Bato Loco[4] is a story written by Gordon Rennie, with art by Simon Coleby that had two outings in the Judge Dredd Megazine.

The first instalment has been described as a good start with "cute" and "cartoony" art,[9] and the second part as "an awesome romp" and "a fabulous idea, and here it's executed with great aplomb," although the same reviewer felt it was pitched at a younger audience than usual.

[10] Another reviewer felt that while the artist "is pretty good at this sort of art, but I hate it" and reiterated concerns about the lack of sophistication but did acknowledge that "there are bags of fun ideas here.

Cradlegrave[12] is a body horror comic story which ran in 2000 AD #1633-1644, written by John Smith, with art by Edmund Bagwell.

[14] Cursed Earth Koburn[15] is a character who has appeared in an eponymous series in Judge Dredd Megazine, written by Gordon Rennie, with art by Carlos Ezquerra.

The story, featuring anthropomorphic dinosaurs, was originally supposed to appear in the spin-off comic Earthside 8, but this title was never published.

However, this was not the end of the problems as the move to 2000 AD happened when Mills felt his relationship with the editors was breaking down and he came to believe that "Dinosty suffered from covert and non-verbalised editorial opposition, or maybe just disinterest.

[18][19] At the suggestion of editor Kelvin Gosnell, the name was modified to Judge Dredd and used for another 2000 AD character, a futuristic lawman devised by John Wagner.

[19] A single strip featuring Doctor Sin appeared in the 1979 2000 AD Annual, written by Mills and with art by Horacio Lalia.

[19][22][23] Doctor Sin then undertook another long hiatus before returning in the 2017 one-shot Scream and Misty Halloween Special, where his spirit appeared to transfer his powers to his grandson, and resembled the 1979 version.

[26] Glimmer Rats[27] is a military science fiction story which appeared in 2000 AD, written by Gordon Rennie, with art by Mark Harrison.

"[28] The Grudge-Father[29] is a "lurid"[17] 1994 story written by Mark Millar, with Jim McCarthy providing the art, which ran in 2000 AD #878-883.

Tharg (Matt to his friends) wanted a stonking big space war story that would suit the universe of the Mega-Cities".

The series ran in 2000 AD #834-841 in 1993 and led straight into up the Judge Dredd story "Inferno", with Ezquerra remaining on art and Grant Morrison taking over writing duties.

It was written by Dan Abnett, with Henry Flint providing the art, and features the eponymous character, who pilots a giant tank called Mojo with the assistance of his technician Tool.

The story ran in issues #706-711 in 1990 and was reprinted in Extreme Edition #14 and involved two American soldiers in a nuclear missile silo apparently haunted by the ghost of Edward Bulwer-Lytton who was intent on ending the world.

Snow/Tiger[55] is a story featuring "a mixture of paranoid politics and extreme violence" written by Andy Diggle: originally pitched to Vertigo, it was turned down as being "too mainstream".

"[58] Only one story was published, "Pax Americana", in 2000 AD ##1336-1342 and it was collected in a free trade paperback given away in the Judge Dredd Megazine #276.

Tales from Beyond Science[61] is a series of one-off Future Shock-style stories all drawn by Rian Hughes with scripts by Mark Millar, Alan McKenzie and John Smith.

Witch World[66] is a series that appeared twice in 2000 AD, written by Gordon Rennie, with art provided by Siku, Paul Johnson, Will Simpson and John M. Burns.

One or two Vector 13s aside, it was the first thing I did for 2000 AD, a comic that's been part of my life for 25 years, and the fact that it was hackneyed old rubbish is still a source of eternal mortification.

[28]Zombo[67] is a story written by Al Ewing, based on ideas by series artist Henry Flint, who also provided the art.
