Along with artist Martin Baines' birthday wishes for 2000AD, we're also delighted to publish his vrsion of the original Judge Dredd script, 'Court Room'.
Martin tells us this was the script for what was originally to have been the first ever 2000AD Judge Dredd story, but it was considered too violent.
"I think it would be interesting for readers and would really help me," he says. Let us know what you think...

First memory of 2000AD?
Seeing it on the school coach and reading the annual.
Favourite characters or story?
Nikolai Dante, The Romanov Empire - Brilliant story that kept me guessing right the end with amazing art by the great John M Burns who remains at the top of his field
Strontium Dog - Everything created in the classic black and white period, Real Class!
What do you like most about the 2000AD?
Always inventive! Britain will be a poorer place if it lost 2000AD.
What would you most like to see in 2000AD as it heads to its Forties?
To continue to see classic work by the master artists and writers and hopefully one day to see my work in it as well...
