Hello! I've got back into 2000ad having lapsed in the early 1990s. Have been browsing the forum for a bit, thought I'd join in.
I think I started reading the prog mid-80s. Highlights being Zenith, Slaine (Fabry's, Power's and Bisley's), and Dredd during the Oz (loved B McCarthy's episodes), Necropolis and Democracy runs. Plus read a lot of the best of monthlies, with Halo Jones, classic Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Slaine (McMahon, Belardinelli, Fabry, Pugh), the VCs. Good times!
I also remember Scream, the Eagle (Doomlord?), and later on Toxic! (The Driver, Bogie Man, Marshal Law), Revolver, and I must have collected all of Crisis (loved Baikie on John Smith's New Statesman). Think I stopped reading on leaving school and going to Uni. Got into Dark Horse comics at some point, DH Presents, enjoyed the various Alien, Terminator, The Thing and Predator comic spinoffs.
The Hachette collections brought me back in , started buying the ultimate collection, then noticed the JD Mega Collection, bought most of that and caught up on much of what I've missed out on! A lot of it absolutely brilliant. At the same time started the joint prog/Meg subscription. Dredd, Brink and Lawless my fave contemporary thrills.
I've done a couple of art stars submissions, one being 'le fink' in the Angel Gang one, hence the user name. How else do you choose a user name? Discuss. Anyway, nice to meet you!
