Sigh, even the thought of it has me in nostalgia mode, humming Hanging Out With Halo Jones from Transvision Vamp :)

It's true there have never been any official adaptations of Halo Jones, but I do remember reading about a stage adaptation produced by some drama students, sometime in the late 80s.
I distinctly remember seeing photos of the cast in a 2000AD special.

Oh wow - I had forgotten that song.
And if Halo Jones never yet received a US publication then maybe it is time for a revival sometime...

Ohh - I heard they were going to re-release it in the original version now the parody laws have been changed. With the MacDonalds and Burger King episodes restored. But not sure when that is supposed to come out. Love Pat Mills - but more for Slaine than his Dredd stuff, I do have to admit....
