Well... this is me.

[Cpt. Fabs]

Greetings to everyone,

I'm the new guy in town. First of all, since you're sure going to notice pretty soon: I'm not an English native speaker, so please be patient and speak a little more slowly when you're talking to me.

My name is Fabrizio, I'm a 27 old writing from the erstwhile barbarian territory of present-day Germany, I'm four eighth Italian, three eighth German and one eighth Scandinavian, so I guess the proper English term to describe a person like myself is "mongrel". Ist that correct?

I have a great passion for comic books, movies and video games (feel free to visit http://www.mycomics.de/users/fabrizio if you want to have a look at my own comics work, just bear in mind that the dialogue is still in German) a passion that, sooner or later, was bound to lead me to the world of 2000AD. Although I've always been aware of the existence of Judge Dredd and the whole bunch on a more, let's say, abstract level, my first real encounter with 2000AD happened during a recent trip to Italy where I came across a hard cover edition of a beautifully illustrated book called "Sláine - The Horned God" and instantly fell in love with it. So I was curious to know more about this British comic book anthology called 2000AD that featured such marvellous stories on its pages. And that's how I came to this site. As you can guess, I'm not that familiar with the universe of 2000AD at the moment but I'm willing to learn.

So... what more is there to say about me? I guess that's all for now. Thanks for listening and... see you around!

Hi there!

[Colin YNWA]

Enjoy exploring the world of 2000ad, there's a lot of great comics out there to be had.

From a very quick look the stuff on your mycomics page is pretty fantastic.

Welcome aboard and have fun.

I will type a little more loudly, I find that helps

To be honest your English seems betterer than what most of ours is up to and you throw in an "erstwhile" as a cherry on top.

Nice comics (even if one year of German many moons ago isn't any help in reading it ), be sure to check out our creative commons forum and the art competition in the general forum.

If you have any questions about further reading then fire away.

Pleasure to meet you Fabrizio. Enjoy the forum, there's only a few nutters to watch out for. Really. Just a few...

Now then and welcome!

Mongrols are quite popular on this forum, 

Yours Judge Jack, - part English, Scottish and Welsh.

read cyberleader's posts you wont feel the need to apologise any more and th'ow do lad? (lancashire)

Thanks, guys! I think I'm going to like it here. In particular since there seem to be some fellow mongrel persons around.

@Colin & Emperor: Thank you for your kind words about my work. I was lucky to meet comic book artist David Gibbons at an animation and sfx conference in my home town of Stuttgart. Well... "meet" is to say I actually hat to chase him for some flights of stairs and managed to bag him right before he could vanish into the safety of the VIP lounge. But he gave me some of his time and seemed to appreciate my stuff, still encouraging me to work harder, of course. He seems to be a very kind and humorous person.

@Emperor: Thanks for the linguistic compliments, but it actually takes a lot of time for me to write these posts – and I have to check the dictionary every few minutes or so. But reading the likes of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman strictly in the original, English version definitely helps a lot! So, you spent a year gracing the language of my country with your imperial attention – may I enquire as to the reasons of this audacious undertaking? For my mother, who is Italian, and all the other people from foreign shores I know, have always told me that German is a very hard language to learn. I wouldn't know of anybody taking the pain without a valid reason to do so.

I checked the boards you mentioned and there's a lot of lovely stuff to feast one eyes upon, there. The thread about the attempts at the sample scripts has caught my eye in particular. I think I might have a go at one of those scripts myself, soon. As I understand it, it's possible to submit the pages one does based on these scripts to the staff at 2000AD for critique?

You need something like a taser

I think the school had a German teacher knocking around not actually teaching German, so they thought they'd keep him busy. I don't recall it being offered apart from the one year. They also made us do a year of Latin, for reasons that escape me.

My Dad taught German, so it wasn't a big chore but I suspect my Turkish is better than my German these days.
