* AwesomeDearBoy: Although it catalyzed Rebellion's transformation from simple video game company to the juggernaut of publishing it is today, interviews at the time confirmed a major reason that the company bought 2000ad was that the people in charge loved the comic and didn't want to see it cease publication (a real risk at that time). No one can deny that the deal worked out great for everybody involved.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: The 90s is generally seen as a low point. According to ''Future Shock: The Story of [=2000AD=]'', publishers Fleetway Egmont acquired it as part of a package deal and didn't really know what direction they wanted to take it in, especially with such disastrous experiments as the infamous Sex Issue and a lot of FollowTheLeader type stories. The AudienceAlienatingEra began to end in the mid to late 1990's, JudgeDredd returned to form with the return of Creator/JohnWagner to the prog in 1994, while the appearance of ''Sinister Dexter'' and ''Nikolai Dante'' as well as Creator/DanAbnett's ''Durham Red'' later in the decade confirmed the Prog as a whole had returned to form. Although it remained somewhat under threat of cancellation (due to Egmont's apathy towards it)the creative low period had ended. Once Creator/Rebellion, bought the title in 2000 its future was assured and it hasn't looked back since.

Lampshaded in the 2000th issue, where one of the ''Vector 13'' guys tries to get in on the celebrations and Tharg slams the door in his face stating, "Hey, it was TheNineties".
