None

A weekly rummage in the attic of sci-fi

No, not the first issue of 2000 AD, but the second - the one that unleashed grim-jawed future lawman Judge Dredd on an unsuspecting populace. You'll find no mention of him on the cover, mind. Even the rebooted Dan Dare takes second place to those funky Biotronic Man stickers, which allowed kids all over Britain to fool thickie grown-ups into believing they were semi-human cyborg death machines. Ah, innocent days.
