So, as we're getting a rather wonderful influx of new folks, I thought rather than having each of them asking where to start, the good folks of the board could help them out on this thread.
So, apart from Dredd, what to start with?

I would suggest the  Kingdom and the Nemesis volumes to kick this off.

D'oh!
Cannot believe I did not suggest the single greatest comic strip ever!

Proudhuff

DDT did a job on me

TordelBack

Defoe.  Making zombies interesting again since 1666.

Spaceghost

Zombo (it's a laff riot), Shakara and Nikolai Dante.

And I'd like to second everybody else's suggestions.

Hi, I'm new to the forum but not to 2000ad (although I have some catching up to do).
Anyway, my top strips have always been:

Strontium Dog
A.B.C Warriors
Slaine

Anything that stands out in the ten years since was last reading the prog?

Paul.

Try some of those Anderson phonebooks too. She's simply wonderful. And get your teeth into Halo Jones for your first nibble of Alan Moore.

Is Robo-Hunter still around? When was his last visit to the Prog? I seem to remember loving it.

The Prodigal

I got the best advice going when I joined at christmas. I am willing to collate it all for a fee. I should add that I have had an absolute ball and I am indebted to everyone who gave me the advice. I am also poor.
