Nice t' meet ya.

I'm another one who stopped reading the prog in the 90s. It'd be interesting to know how badly 2000ad's sales dropped during that period. Simon, was it the Summer Offensive that drove you off or did you last a bit longer?

Hi all,

Like a lot of other people, I was a regular 2000ad reader back in the 90's --- from, um, the prog where Zenith gets confronted with his 'dead' father, to the prog where Big Dave's dog eats the postman's cat. Also like a lot of other people, I stopped reading the comic mainly because of the Summer Offensive. I was also at an unfortunate age - about 14 - where I was starting to think I should "put away childish things." Bleh.

I started reading the digital prog again last October, and for the most part am really impressed. Dredd has never been stronger. New (to me) features like Absolom and Dante are also really good. And it's great to see John Smith's new work in the Indigo Prime universe, a place that's always haunted some dark recess of my imagination.

I've also recently started hunting down old back progs, especially from the goofier earlier days. Best find was an almost complete run of Starlords stored away in the back room of a dingy secondhand shop. Never knew that the Gronk had a brother, and that Wulf's jerkin was made from him. . .

Anyway, looking forward to getting to know you all.
