Thrill - power overload
By David Bishop

Thirty Years of Thrill-Power!

From humble and rocky begginings to its current position as the Galaxy's Greatest comic, Thrill-Power Overload charts the incredible history of this ground-breaking comic. With exclusive interviews, hundreds of illustrations and rarely-seen artwork, former 2000 AD editor, David Bishop, guides the reader through three decades of action, adventure, excitement and the occasional editorial nightmare! Told by the people who were there, this is the definitive history of the comic that launched a thousand talents.

Just seen this on 2000ad website it sounds like a very good book but a wee bit expensive.Maybe forbidden planet will do it a few quids cheaper like they normally do with judge dredd case files etc.

I believe so. It's a very balanced work. The book is an extended version of the articles that ran in Judge Dredd Megazine a few years ago that you may recall.

Play seem to be selling it for ?14.49:

Probably a mis-price (they have the RRP stated at ?18.99) but it's worth a shot.

My copy arrived today - price of ?14.49 honoured! It looks delightful too, a proper coffee-table book. Up to ?26.49 now though, sadly.

pre-ordered mine on amazon for ?11.95, then waited through all the e-mails telling me it was unavailable and all those encouraging me to cancel my order. once published, they were duty bound to charge me the original price...absolute bargain.

it's very good too...
