Hi I have only just registered....but found the 2000ad site a while back but through lifes adventures I never got back to here until now
I like Judge Dredd and infact obsessed with the new movie out here n there around the world here I am on your forums.
Why am I obsessed well it goes way back to the late 70's........I was in my late teens and I was grooving along and I discovered this Pommy Commic called "Starlog".....if memory serves me correct? I remember there was a mag about movies with lots of pics in it called "Starlog"....so I hope I got it right? Anyway I started reading it as it was a Sci-Fi comic.......you know sorta sick of SuperHeroes and Commando Comics ...so the Sci-Fi comic was refreshing to my brain!.........................
If life was perfect you would order the Comic and get a Prog every week..............................And it was 1
It was around the time that Starlog merged with 2000ad and "Dredd" was introduced............my local newsagent had it on order every week without fail!!! all the way from England!...in the SnailMail days of the late 70"s..................................................
Now I come from the land Down under...............
And it was pretty amazing getting all the Progs in sync I had every Prog from num 1 up to 250 or 300 or something like that...................Marriage, Kids, Divorce Moving House all that stuff we go through in life the Progs got sold to a comic book store "Lucky Buggers"............am I allowed to say that?
Mods Please Correct Me if that was Naughty

welcome Dreddman57 - the comic you're thinking of was Starlord, in which Robusters and Strontium Dog first appeared. There is a general sci-fi text magazine called Starlog though - is that still going?
Starlord I knew it didnt sound right ....................
Welcome aboard Dreddman57 :wave:
Glad to see you enjoy Dredd as much as us lot!
Always good to see another Aussie on the board.
My brother and I used to spend our pocket money on Fleetway/IPC comics and I was always amazed that these papers published on the other side of the world ended up in our little town in rural NSW on a weekly basis.
I live in Sydney now. Where (*) are you, Dreddman?
(*) feel free to insert "the bloody hell" here if you remember the failed tourist campaign.
