Hello from the USA

[lordmockingbird]

I come bearing pics of some stuff In my collection

My story is I bought like 5 or 6 progs in 2005 or so when a comic store closed down in Maryland and I never looked at them until a few months ago. And I was like wtf have I missed here!

[lordmockingbird]

hang on, i have to figure out why more images arent showing

[lordmockingbird]

Oh well, the other ones aren't showing up. Maybe spam protection? I'll just link them

This is a really cool cyberpunk thing. Anyone heard of it? It's like boilerplate hard boiled guy in cyber future which is all I really want in life. It seems it was made in the 80s on one of those little mac boxes people had with the derpy art program in it much like mspaint?

Look at all these suckers just like me trying to get some money for so much pulp.
This is so dumb. I mostly bought comics in the 90s during the great collector bubble. As such I have a lot of odd stuff, but it's nostalgic. But I was and am a proud fan of rob Liefeld's work in the early 90s. I didn't know that his style had become a meme. But I have no shame in it.

I love the graphic design style when were still in a hangover from the 80s.

I've had this ABC book since the 90s. It was my treasure because Bisley was my god back then as an aspiring comic artist. I felt like I struck gold with this. Still missed the clue to start looking into 2000AD somehow!

I love this epic fight with deadlock stabbing hammerstein and all the electric coming out.

Bisley's casual detail is always dumbfounding to me.

Also sadly all the pages have out of the perfect binding. Very distressing!

It's possible to post multiple images - here's one of yours:



From imgur, you need to get the correct url - you can do that by right-clicking the image and opening it in a new tab (or "copy image address").

The code in a post looks like this (except with square brackets):

(The width part is optional, and just controlling display width.)

Hi lordmockingbird

Welcome to this board. It's a friendly place and you are welcome to join in on the Xmas Advent in December. ( I'm the pest who keeps annoying boarders to join in the festive spirit come December - if you can draw/write/make models or just create anything 2000AD Xmas related then just pick a day in December and post)

Anyway have you been able to pick up much other 2000AD past or present Thrills?

When we get newbies on board it's always good to know what they like best as us auld gits are mostly set in our ways but Tharg continues to produce new thrills which keeps us entertained and coming back for more

[lordmockingbird]

Thank you all. I forgot to look if the extension was present!

I have a few irons in the fire on getting old progs. I think I'll focus on new ones later. I'm really into the time machine effect.

I would love to try some art this year!

I always love reading old progs (early to mid eighties) as they have a unique "smell" which transports me back to those carefree days

I look forward to seeing some art on the Xmas Advent. In the meantime if you want you can post art on the thread in "creative common" called " Does my art look big in this"
Have a look if you haven't already there's some cracking art from us humble fans - well worth a scroll through

[lordmockingbird]

wow, some impressive stuff in there!

let me clarify and say I was an aspiring comic artist when I was young, and then completely gave up on that 

but I can still kinda draw if I'm inspired and I'm definitely inspired to.

Here's a sample from back then

I look forward to you posting in the art thread and a submission to this year's Advent. There's also a Dredd Head thread (solely for pics if Dredd Heads if it needs explanation)
