When I was wee my most regular fix of JD was through the Daily Star newspaper strips.  I really enjoyed them and, indeed, it was through them that I got into 2000AD.

I was thinking of picking up volume one of The Daily Dredds but money's tight so I'm a little wary. 

What's the general consensus on the strips?  Are they fun for nostalgia only or do they actually contain some real merit?  Is the Daily Dredd compilation worth picking up?

Any and all opinions welcome.

Well, that's good to know.  I was tempted to pick up a few issues just to see but I think I'll spend my pocket money on some better reads first.

By the way, how does one add an avatar?

Thanks for the compliment (hag is complimentary, right? )

And thanks for the warm welcome. 

It's been really good catching up on some 2000AD goodness.  To be honest, I'm really impressed by the consistent quality I've found so far.  I vaguely remember flicking through some comics in the 90's and thinking the comic had plummeted but perhaps that was me just being a surly young adult!

God, I haven't been to a launderette in about 20 years.  There's one just up the road from me.  It actually does look like a quite a cool wee place.  It's got coffee shop with some nice pictures on the wall and everything.  My last launderette had the vibe of a crack house!

I put a wash on this morning while getting ready for work.  After switching it on I noticed I'd dropped a pair of pants on they way to the machine.  The annoying thing is they're the only thing I have for a dark wash.  It's somewhat irksome... 

Hey folks.  I'm just another returning reader.  Well, I say returning but until recently I haven't really read much 2000 AD since the mid 80's!

Getting older has made me yearn for simpler times so I'm regressing into childhood loves... I've a feeling I'm hitting a mid life crisis but, hey, at least buying comics is cheaper and less embarrassing than buying a Porsche convertible and toupe!
