I don't think it was called anything
as there wasn't a precursor to 2000AD, it just came out as a brand new comic when I was about 11 or 12 - fuck me I'm old :(
If I remember correctly Dan Dare was in it from the beginning and he was resurrected from The Eagle.

Oh? I thought it was StarLord then merged with some other comic and became 2000ad?
I may be remembering it wrong, it was a damn long time ago now, mind you, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen 'facts' about stuff I grew up with seem entirely wrong to me, and I'm never sure if I'm remembering it wrong, or its another case of a modern 'truth' about the past being slightly twisted by time and Chinese Whispers before anyone wrote it down on the Internet, I've seen a few before, mainly chronology issues or Roddenberry style fan ret con being accepted as fact now.
Meh, doesn't really matter I guess.

Ye it does!
Confirms Dredd first appeared in issue 2 and that Starlord was merged into 2000AD a year after 2000AD was first published.
Thank you :)
