It's refreshing to see the yanks actually giving Dredd and 2000ad the time of day. I've literally grown up with the publication and it's the most creative, clever and genre defying comic I've ever had the pleasure to read. My heart always sinks when peoples only exposure to the character is the Stallone film, which was a horrendous mess.

One point I have to make is that 2000 ad is an anthology comic, but most of the other stories aren't set in Dredds universe. The stories are immensely varied, from the brutal Celtic myth of Slaine, to the far future swashbuckling adventures of Nikolai Dante. There is literally a story for everyone, and 2000 ad really delivers on sheer creativity.

One last point, but how could you not mention Alan Moore in your list of creators who originated in the pages of 2000ad? He seems to be worshipped as a god over in the states, and was producing outstanding work well before making his move to America. Check out The Balled of Halo Jones, arguably his best story (even better then watchmen, at least in my opinion) for proof.
