Also enjoyed some of the spin-offs (Crisis, Revolver, Tornado back in the day)

Are there any meet ups now and again for fans in Scotland?

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

Welcome Robbie nice to see another fellow Calhab citizen join the board. 👍🏻😁
I'm out in East Lothian. Enjoy the banter.

Citizens are Perps who haven't been caught ... yet!

Welcome to the board!

Interesting that you liked Tornado.  I recently (few years ago) read the whole lot as part of a prog slog, as well as Starlord.  I liked Blackhawk, Wolfie Smith and Angry Planet, but didn't really rate the rest that highly.  Did you get to read Starlord?

There's a well practiced formula:
1. pick a date well in advance, often around a convention
2. several people agree to meet
3. cancel one by one due to other commitments, until all agree to reschedule in a couple of months.


And welcome to the board!

Welcome aboard. Interesting to see a list of likes. We have a tournment running at the moment voting on our favourite (not Dredd) series. Many if not all of your favs are still in the running as we are deep into Round 2 (or 9) so you might have some fun playing there.

Either way have fun.

Yes indeed. Enjoyed Starlord as well (liked Ro-Busters, Timequake, and of course Strontium Dog there) ....from Tornado, quite liked Victor Drago, and Blackhawk. Sad that both only ran for 22 issues.
