This
is an assortment of Horror stories from the British anthology series
2000 A.D. It
is Terror
Tales: Counts As One Choice
( from #1645) by the incredible Chris Weston which steals the
show. It is a story of a guy who subscribes to one of them book clubs
to get two Judge Dredd Restricted Case Files books for the
price of one and it ends up costing him far, far more than he
anticipated. Great stuff there. This was an enjoyable if uneven read.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 3.75 out of 5.
The
OCD zone-
These Rebellion/ 2000 AD books are wider than standard US trades.

Dull matte chalky feeling coating.
This looked familiar, so I checked my database, and yes, I did read it about a year-and-a-half ago. I gave it two stars out of ten, so I must have purged the actual reading of the book from my memory.
ReplyDeleteI dumped it on eBay a few weeks ago, to be honest with you. I have so many books that I am not keeping stuff that doesn't either A) wow me or B) complete a run. I haven't even read everything that I own once, let alone worry about wanting to reread something like this. It will never happen in my lifetime, so off to eBay it went.
DeleteYeah, I need to start dumping some of my old stuff...I need the space and the money, but I hate the hassle of selling on e-bay......
ReplyDeleteI have dumped quite a few this year. eBay is filled with assholes and scam artists but there are a number of serious collectors who are a pleasure to deal with. I had one clown who was claiming that I never sent his book even though the tracking number showed that it was delivered. Have fun...
