...33 Years to be precise. Was there right from the start with prog 1 and carried on 'till prog 303. Then, like so many others (?) I was caught in a perfect storm of Hip Hop music, Woodpecker cider and various members of the school netball team.
I then dutifully boxed up my collection (Yes, I kept them all) and placed them in the loft for retrieval at a later date. Fast forward some 30 odd years later, and as I approached middle age and/or a midlife crisis, I return to my old family home to retrieve a large box of nostalgia.
After several hours scrambling around my loft, I asked my Mother as to the whereabouts of my
Much loved, well-kept collection. "Oh, those old things... I threw them out years ago"!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. (Sorry, even now I still feel the need to count to 10).
Anyhow, after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I purchased several Dredd case files, Nemesis books etc. but it wasn't the same.
So last year I bit the bullet and purchased a complete set of 2000 AD's (Mostly down to forum member Blixab, Top Bloke) and signed up to an annual subscription from the Rebellion web site.
Anyway I have just finished reading prog 1 thru to 303 (Forgot how good it all was, too much to say here, will post something at a later date) and I now find myself in uncharted waters.
Well forum members, what do I have to look forward to, what (if anything) should I be missing out? Still only 1660 odd progs until I'm up to date, how hard can it be?
