...What long Defunct Comic Do You Miss From Your Youth?...

[Dunk!]

Warrior and Deadline, if it was still like the first 16 odd issues.

[The Monarch]

sonic the comic definatly

[Artificial Idiot]

'nother vote for Sonic the Comic... It even had pirates! (If I remember correctly). Should really dig out the old issues I have...

[monty--]

I miss Scream and Eagle. I can find nothing, NOTHING, that's any good that gives information on the 1980's Dan Dare episodes.

Oh, and I miss 2000ad in it's hey dey. Every prog was a work of genius from 1983 to 1985.

Hmmmm..... which do Defunct comic i wish i still had,Crisis had some good squishy in it,also i got to admit i wish Total Carnage was still in print loved Grendel dog's nadsac it was,and i really miss the Commando serials first introduction to the 1st,2nd,3rd world wars!!!

Ermmmm...............(anyone want these spare full stops?)....... also i miss Starblazer,really cheap but good sci-fi.

Then there's got to be Toxic and only for Accident man,1st story was near to perfection in mho,then The driver,1 reason only...............
..........(more spares if anyone want's 'em) "Drink my piss in hell"!!!!!!!! the best insult i've heard in this universe and the 15 other's that i happen to hold multi-verse passes for!!!

that about sums it up for me (for now)

one final one,Deadline.

"Scream.
Just imagine what it'd be like now..."


Considering the Horror film boom thats currently going on, Im surprised no-ones of thought of this till now.
Would it be worth Rebellion's trouble to comission a 'Summer Special'-type one off, featuring horror stuff from the current top droids?
(Dom and Fraser could probably handle the art on their own!)

What do you reckon?
Do we really need a specialist horror comic, or is there enough in 2000ad?

[Bico]

How come there hasn't been a rival to 2000ad for a while now?  There's a market for it, if the amount of comics being sold (2000ad, three or four Spidey comics, ditto X-men, Batman and that thing with Daredevil) is anything to go by.  Distribution is the problem, I suppose?

[Byron Virgo]

"that thing with Daredevil"

Mighty World of Marvel.

And yes, distribution is a problem, as supermarkets and chain newsagents require all sorts of grossly unfair subsidies and 'get out of gaol free cards', whilst local newsagents are often in such a tennuous financial state that they won't risk anything new and unproven.

[Pyroxian]

The UK Zoids comic is the one I miss the most.

Just remembered!
Also used to get 'DC Action', a nice glossy UK reprint mag, which featured IIRC Animal Man (yay!), Swamp Thing (ok), and the New Teen Titans (bobbare!).

They had some great Bolland covers too...http://www.illiteraterainbow.com/colours/fun/Animal_Man-Coyote_Gospel-l.jpg">

[Woolly]

Used to have a full collection of the Marvel RoboCop comics too. Alas, they died in an over-damp cellar!

Sorely missed....(sniff)

[Slippery PD]

I also miss Furmans Transformers comics
Read the new ones, not quite the same

Slips
