Tied in with 2000AD Judge Dredd comicstrips though the tie in was played down rather than promoted. Strange.

...especially if Lesney were refused a 'Tie-In' lisense which has prevented them from having any reference to the comic caracters on this range.

Thanks Hugh, I had completely forgotten about that and there it is, a tie-in with 2000AD in black & white!

According to this blog ... http://hypnogoria.blogspot.com/2017/09/ ... at-26.html ... the Matchbox 2000 models came first and the comic used one of them So, a tie in but the wrong way about.
