2000 AD: Titles C

CABAL Creators: John Freeman & Adrian Salmon 2 episodes: 1995 Cabal was a two-part follow-up to the Karyn: Psi Division stories by John Freeman and Adrian Salmon, showing the disbanding of Psi Division's exorcist judges. Reprinted? This series has never been reprinted. You'll need the original Megs.
Cabal, 2 episodes [12 pgs], Judge Dredd Megazine vol.3 #7-8 (Oct. 1995). Story by John Freeman, art by Adrian Salmon.
CABALLISTICS, INC. Creators: Gordon Rennie & Dom Reardon 57 episodes: 2002-2007 A millionaire contracts the services of two freelance ghosthunters named Lawrence Verse and Hannah Chapter and hooks them up with the redundant employees of the British government's Q Department. Operating from the haunted mansion of a deceased Satanist, Caballistics Inc. is assigned to protect England from the paranormal and unexplained. This is a remarkably good series, the best new one to come along in ages. If Hammer made this as a movie in 1969, it would have been the greatest film ever. Reprinted? Most of the episodes have been compiled in a pair of books from Rebellion. The series is currently on a lengthy hiatus while Gordon Rennie works for other employers, leaving nine episodes uncollected.

CALHAB JUSTICE Creators: Jim Alexander & John Ridgway 24 episodes: 1992-95 Calhab, formerly Scotland, is the site of decades of nuclear waste dumping. Its most famous investigator is tough guy Judge Ed MacBrayne, and it is set against a backdrop of militant nationalism, psychic powers and a looming civil war against Brit-Cit. This crossed over with Brit-Cit Brute in the later runs, but lost a lot of its initial popularity with readers as it indulged in a seemingly incoherent plot about a Scottish psi-judge with cosmic powers and a big grudge. Reprinted? This series has not been collected. You'll need the original Megs.

CANON FODDER Creators: Mark Millar & Chris Weston 15 episodes: 1993, 1996 Mark Millar is often disparaged for his work in 2000 AD, but every once in a while he came up with a popular effort like this one. Shortly after the Rapture, the millions of risen dead realize God isn't coming back to get them. Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty conclude a lovers' suicide pact to get to Heaven to find answers. Watson, Mycroft and Canon Fodder, last of the Priest Patrol, take a back door to get there first. The first series is somewhat engaging, with more than a hint of Indigo Prime in both the high-concept script and the art by Weston. Series two was even better, even while it lacked the shocking and bizarre style of the first, as it developed the characters and played with amusing rivalries and jealousies among the newly reincarnated. The writer "Kek-W" was similarly asked to follow up another Millar series, The Grudge-Father, with a second run, although he was not as successful there. Top moment: The surprising appearance of God, eight miles high, multi-armed and carrying an electric guitar. Reprinted? Millar's first story was collected as the "free graphic novel" bagged with issue 278 of the Megazine.
Canon Fodder, 7 episodes [42 pgs], progs 861-867 (Nov. to Dec. 1993). Story by Mark Millar, art by Chris Weston. Dark Matter, 8 episodes [48 pgs], progs 980-987 (Feb. to Apr. 1996). Story by "Kek-W" (Nigel Long), art by Chris Weston.
CAPTAIN KLEP Creators: David Angus, Nick Landau & Kevin O'Neill 41 episodes: 1979-80 This was a one-page "comedy" strip brought over when Tornado was cancelled and some of its strips merged with 2000 AD. Trivia: The Klep strip in prog 147 features guest appearances from several retired British comic heroes, including Digby, Major Eazy, Kelly's Eye, Robot Archie and Captain Hurricane. Reprinted? You can't honestly claim there's been a lot of call for it...

CARVER HALE Creators: Mike Carey & Mike Perkins 8 episodes: 2001 This was apparently commissioned to fulfill the strip's needs for both a new continuing character and a horror strip. While reader reaction was not strong, the strip was successful enough for Mike Carey to parlay it into some work-for-hire for DC Comics and was soon rewarded with an exclusivity contract, preventing him from returning to 2000 AD. Reprinted? Yes, in a hardback collection in the spring of 2005.
Twisting the Knife, 8 episodes [40 pgs], 2000 AD progs 1236-1240 and 1247-1249. (Apr. to July 2001). Story by Mike Carey, art by Mike Perkins.
CHARLEY'S WAR Creators: Pat Mills & Joe Colquhoun 109 episodes, reprinted in 2003-2006 This series originally appeared in Battle Picture Weekly, beginning in # 200 (Jan. 6 1979) and continuing for 380 episodes in total, concluding in # 600 (Oct. 4 1986). Reprinted? Episodes 1-36 were previously collected by Titan in a pair of paperback collections in the mid-1980s. This Megazine repeat marked the first time episodes beyond that point had been reprinted since their original appearance. In 2004, Titan superceded their original TPBs with a line of annual hardcover collections. Volume one reprinted the first 29 episodes. Volume two reprinted episodes 30-59 and volume three reprinted episodes 60-83. See the Classic Comics page for more information.

CHOPPER Character created by John Wagner & Ron Smith 39 episodes: 1988-91, 1993, 1995, 2004 Chopper is far and away one of the most popular characters created for 2000 AD. Born Marlon Shakespeare, he attempted to break the drudgery of Mega-City One by wall-scrawling his pseudonym CHOPPER throughout the city, building into a memorable war of "top THAT" against a rival, the Phantom. Judge Dredd cubed Shakespeare for a few years. Upon his release, he became a skysurfer and competed in the illegal Supersurf 7. "Midnight Surfer" became one of the most popular Dredd stories, in part by recasting Dredd as, emphatically, the villain out to stop our hero Chopper's bid for global celebrity. 1987's "Oz" was a 26-week epic in which Chopper escapes from confinement and makes his way to the Sydney-Melbourne Conurb to challenge Jug McKenzie in another Supersurf. In town anyway to deal with the Judda, Dredd agrees to let Chopper race, for Mega-City One's honor, but will re-arrest him at the finish line. Chopper loses to Jug in a photo-finish, but Oz Judge Bruce prevents the arrest, calling Chopper a hero and throwing Dredd out of town. Chopper retires to the Australian radback, eking out a subsistence living with a mutie named Smokie, meeting McKenzie again in his first solo story. "Song of the Surfer," which appeared a year later, is a candidate for the greatest story ever to appear in 2000 AD. Chopper, McKenzie and several other surfers make their way to Mega-City Two for Supersurf 11, only to learn that the promoter has decreed the last three legal supersurfs were too tame due to the absence of armed judges trying to quell it, and will line the course with snipers. McKenzie sensibly balks, but Chopper, insisting it is his destiny to race, goes ahead. The ensuing carnage is utterly shocking, highlighted by the brainless running commentary by Mega-City Two's TV sports personalities. Mortally wounded, Chopper collapses on his board inches from the finish line in what has to be the most heartbreaking moment to ever appear in a comic book. Many fans consider that to be his death, choosing to ignore the subsequent episodes. Even writer Garth Ennis has publically said that the episodes he wrote were mistakes, but he was considerate enough to point out John McRea did a nice job on the art. "Song of the Surfer" was reprinted in a collected edition by Fleetway; your bookshelf needs a copy. Top moment:There are four. The climaxes of the three Dredd stories are amazingly memorable, particularly when the whole city screams CHOPPER! CHOPPER! CHOPPER! as Dredd impassively leads him away in prog 429. But the end of "Song of the Surfer" is an absolute masterpiece. Reprinted? The three Dredd series were all collected in different Titan editions, and "Song of the Surfer" was reprinted in a handsome volume by Fleetway in the early 1990s. "Earth, Wind and Fire" was collected as a two-part miniseries after Fleetway cancelled the American version of the Dredd Megazine after its third issue. In 2009, "Soul on Fire" and "Song of the Surfer" were reprinted in two supplements bagged with issues 282 and 283 of the Megazine.

The solo series follows the events of the Dredd epic "Oz" (progs 545-570). He also appeared in "Funeral in Mega-City One" (Judge Dredd Poster Prog #4, 11/94).

CITI-DEF Creators: Tony Lee & Jackademus 5 episodes: 2009 . Reprinted? This series has not yet been reprinted. You'll need the original Megs.
Field Trip, 5 episodes, Judge Dredd Megazine 279-283 (Jan. to Apr. 2009). Story by Tony Lee, art by Jackademus.
THE CLOWN Creators: Igor Goldkind & Robert Bliss 16 episodes: 1992-94 If the letters page was any indication, The Clown was a rather popular effort at the time, with flowery, philosophical narration, baffling dialogue about blueberry cheesecake and such, rather nice (albeit dark) painting from Robert Bliss, with violence extreme even for this book. It opens with the decapitation of a simple, if disturbed, clown's only friend, a pony named Toby, and by the end, vengeance has been wreaked, operas have been disturbed, a little girl named Littlegirl has accompanied him to the House of Smiles, the Earth has been invaded, a gumshoe has met his father, and zombies have arisen from the grave. Baffling, but more than a little compelling, too. Reprinted? There is a one-off US-sized reprint which contains the first six episodes.
The Clown, 6 episodes [36 pgs], 2000 AD progs 774-779 (Mar. to Apr. 1992). Story by Igor Goldkind, art by Robert Bliss. Book II prologue, 1 episode [6 pgs], 2000 AD prog 841 (June 1993).

COLONY EARTH Creator: Jim Watson 10 episodes: 1978 Reprinted? Perhaps surprisingly, this series was dusted off and seen again in August 2005's Extreme Edition #10.
Colony Earth, 10 episodes [41 pgs], 2000 AD progs 52-61 (Feb. to Apr. 1978). Story and art by Jim Watson.
THE CORPS Creators: Garth Ennis & Paul Marshall 6 episodes: 1994-95 This story of space judges is set in the Judge Dredd universe. It's six episodes of rather well-written filler material, with violent astro-judges escalating tensions between the Kleggs and Sino-Cit colonists. In retrospect, this may have been meant as a tie-in to some other Sino-Cit threads that appeared in both Judge Dredd and Chopper that never actually materialized. Reprinted? This series was collected in issue 17 of 2000 AD Extreme Edition in 2006.
Fireteam One, 6 episodes [36 pgs], 2000 AD progs 918-923 (Dec. 1994 to Jan. 1995). Story by Garth Ennis (pts 1-5) and Si Spencer (pt 6 only, uncredited), art by Paul Marshall & Colin MacNeil.
THE CREEP Creators: Si Spencer & Kevin Cullen 10 episodes: 1993-1995 Among my least favorite of any series from 2000 AD or the Meg, this is a needlessly, mindlessly violent, incredibly hateful series about a powerful mutant who lives in the Undercity beneath MC-1.
Creep, 4 episodes [28 pgs], Judge Dredd Megazine vol.2 #41-44 (Nov. to Dec. 1993). Story by Si Spencer, art by Kevin Cullen.
