Title: My Return!
Post by: Jim Wetherall on 09 August, 2017, 12:05:22 PM
Hi guys,
Finally got back into collecting the great organ after a 5-6 year hiatus. Spent the last years keeping and breeding a very large collection of snakes and simply didn't have the time in the day to sit down and read comics. Now I've thinned out the snake collection I have subsribed to the weekly and megazine once again, I didn't realise just how much I missed it!
On a mission now to plug the holes in my collection from the last few years, ebay has been extremely useful in this regard and the thrill power ruptures are slowly being mended but there are still issues I'm missing (prog 1771 is the main fugitive I'm hunting). Thought I'd join up here in the hope that some of you lovely people can help in this regard. I'll chuck a wanted add up later once I've got my full list sorted!

Dear all new forumites: you're going to have to go a long way to beat this one in the 'reason I quit reading 2000 AD for a while' competition.

Over the years we've heard many reasons for dropping the Prog but surely none quite as magnificent as spending too much time with snakes.

For once I'm almost sorry to hear someone has returned to the fold... I'm also worried about how you thinned the snakes?

All that said. Welcome aboard - have fun.
