Dredd is right – could this movie be worse than the first?

I finally watched the Dredd trailer and now have even lower expectations for this movie. Yikes. Not looking for much of a move in the comic books, but watching just the same.

Judge Dredd’s first appearance was in the British comic magazine 2000 AD #2 that featured works of prominent U.K. writers such as Alan Moore. They are difficult to find, especially in high grade and CGC does not grade them. A copy described as Near Mint recently sold for $1,000. I’ve listed copies of 2000 AD #2 for sale below, so take a look at the current market and values. Make sure you look for the 1977 issue, it’s the first Dredd.

The reboot movie of Amazing Spider-man will be here on July 3rd, and there has been a flurry of comic book activity once again. Of course much of it surrounds the villain – the Lizard.

The book to get is Amazing Spider-man #6 (values at $4700+ in NM), the first appearance of the Lizard, but if the past is any indication of the future, all Lizard covers and stories should be moving (similar to Sandman before). Check out copies of #5 for sale below, and all the lizard Spider-man copies for sale.
