OK, some of you chaps are off to Uni this year.
So you should try to convert as many of your fellow students to reading 2000AD.
I reckon getting them to read your prog and then if they want to, carry on letting them read it for a few weeks. Then start 'accidentally' not carrying your prog around - Hopefully they'll be so addicted to thrill-power they'll rush out and start buying their own copies...
Any of suggestions?

Why don't they have adverts like that anymore? I liked them.

I remember the time I gave my flatmate Judgement on Gotham to read. He was so absorbed in it he read it to the end without speaking all evening, and his girlfriend (another flatmate) told me off, and asked me not to lend him comics ever again!

Made the mistake of lending one mate at uni my copy of Watchment. I think that it did a tour of most of the campus before heading home with some other person.
Had to get my self a shiny new copy...

I gave my flatmate Zenith Phase I to read. He studiously read it from cover to cover, in silence, pausing over certain bits and flicking back occasionally. After 20 mins or so he passed it back to me and said:
"That was total shit."
Didn't trust his opinion on anything after that.

I'm not even there and I've formed Comic Soc. I've got a fair few folks who'll already be toothed up, but I'll try to improve the number.
The local shop sells 2000, the meg AND the extremes. Small village, middle of Wales. I can't get them in the city where I live!!

I keep trying to get my mate Gaz to read something, but so far all my attempts have failed miserably. :(
