Is there a way I can get, for example, the full set of “The Order”? I thought that would be available, at least digitally, but it looks like the only way to do it is to work out which back issues of 2000 AD contain it and buy them all?

I've seen Judge Dredd paperbacks in stores, so it's possible. Not all series might have been reprinted at this time, though.

This really is the sort of thing I wish was preserved digitally! Off-topic: I notice your quotes are proper left and right quotes. On desktop I don't get that. Are you using voice-to-text on a mobile OS, or is that an iPhone thing, or a Euro keyboard, or what? I've wondered what does that.

  On the quotes: wasn't even really aware I was doing it. I was using an iPad when writing that comment, which ‘corrects’ quotes by default. Looks like Mac doesn't do it by default, but you can switch it on (“Edit” -> “Substitutions” -> “Smart Quotes”).

Rebellion’s model is still pretty old fashioned, so it depends on the example. I think there’s one collection of _The Order_ so far (“Die Mensch Maschine”, print and digital), beyond that you currently need the individual Progs. I’m pretty sure they are all available digitally, but it’s not cheap or convenient. But all of _Nikolai Dante_ has been collected (print and digital), there’s a digital _The Bendatti Vendetta_ graphic novel, most of his Dredd work is probably available scattered across various collections… Instead of trades, a lot of shorter/less popular 2000AD series are reprinted in full in the back of the monthly Judge Dredd Magazine – the complete _Angel Zero_ is in Meg 370, for example.

  I’m definitely not about to spend the time trying to understand what I need to buy to make my own collection... This feels both like leaving money on the floor, and making the content less accessible to newcomers. It’s sad :-(
