From humorously twisted Future Shocks to the dystopian escapades of Judge Dredd, 2000 AD has inspired generations of readers and has spawned some of the greatest talents in the comics industry. To celebrate the creative droids behind the Galaxy s Greatest Comic, a selection of writers and artists from across 2000 AD's forty-year history were asked to choose their favourite one-off story by a fellow creator and explain why they chose it. The result is this incredible anthology featuring work by Alan Grant, Kevin O Neill, Rob Williams, Brian Bolland, Chris Weston and Steve Dillon selected by creators such as founding editor Pat Mills, celebrated artist Jock and recent newcomer Tom Foster.

This is a collection of some of the best stories that have been in 2000AD during it's first 40 years. These have been picked by various 2000AD luminaries with write-ups as to why they have picked these strips.

I found this a really enjoyable collection with some hugely enjoyable strips.

Fantastic book! I read 2000 AD in the 90s as a kid, stealing them from my dad as he napped, now I can read through all the stories that made this the epic it is today.

A bit disappointing. I was hoping more of a comic strip presentation rather than artists personal perspectives.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little lob-sided when it comes to Dredd stories, but a fun read.

Is there ever such a thing as 'Too much Judge Dredd'?
That's a question academics and scholars will ponder for centuries to come, but for those who believe 'yes' to be the correct answer, this volume might stand as exhibit A.
It's a neat idea - get a bunch of contemporary 2000AD contributers to choose their favorite one-off stories from the first 40 years of The Galaxy's Greatest Comic. The problem is, the iconic, violent antics of Mega-City One's most celebrated lawman clearly had a huge impact on the young artists and writers of modern 2000AD, at the expense of many other worthy possibilities.
So, this nicely produced, if a little slim, volume is dominated by Judge Dredd. Of the thirteen tales collected here, eight of them are Dredd related. Characters such as Zenith, Rogue Trooper, Slaine - even Judges Anderson and Death - may appear on the cover, but you won't find them within. To add salt to the wounds, several of these stories aren't even from 2000AD, but originate in the Judge Dredd Megazine. A handful also come from 2000AD annuals or Sci-Fi specials, but those have the advantage of rarely having been reprinted elsewhere.
Still, what is here - while surely not the absolute 'best' of 2000AD (such an anthology would be an impossible task, not least because of disparate tastes) - is an entertaining collection. Standouts would include the wonderful two-parter 'The Heart is a Lonely Klegg Hunter', which brings a surprising pathos to the story of an outsider trying to get by within the walls of Mega City One. The little-reprinted Shok!, the subject of a legal dispute between 2000AD's then publisher IPC and the makers of the film Hardware, is Pat Mills' choice, and features some standout Kev O'Neill art. Speaking of O'Neill and Mills, we also get The Sword Sinister, featuring the debut of the wonderful Nemesis the Warlock.
What does tie all of these stories together is wonderful art, both black and white and full color. Even when the writing occasionally falters (several tales really fail to stick the landing) this is a reminder that 2000AD has always had some striking artwork.
So, a bit of a mixed bag, really. In no way a definitive collection, or even representative of 2000AD's first forty years. It's a nice enough collection of short Judge Dredd stories, with the occasional Strontium Dog or Future Shock thrown in for good measure. Not an essential purchase, by any means, but a pleasant enough afternoon's reading and waxing nostalgic.

Note: Despite Amazon's cover image, the actual title of this volume - as printed on the cover - is '2000AD's Greatest'.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too thin
Reviewed in the United States on 6 April 2020

To truly be the greatest this should have been four times as thick at least. I bought it as an introduction to 2000AD for my daughter, as that it’s great. The lack of stars is purely the size doesn’t match the title.
