Hi Everybody!

[strontium_dog_90]

Hey to all!

Finally taken the plunge and joined the board after visiting for ages and reading the comic for even more ages!!! (Since Prog 750, if anyone is wondering, can still remember it as if it were yesterday!) Hope everyone is cool and having a great Wednesday evening

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

Gavin, interested to hear you started with Prog 750, too (sorry, don't know how to do quotes yet!) What are your thoughts on it, in hindsight? I know it's from a period of 2000ad that isn't very highly regarded, but I'm sure most people would agree that the Dredd Referendum story starting in that Prog is a classic, and at the risk of being controversial, the ABC Warriors Khaos story in that issue blew me away, too! I was snared instantly - and when I read Judgement on Gotham a few months later, I was hooked for life (hooked in a good way, though!)  

On a sort-of related topic, was anyone else inspired to start writing when they first read the comic? I know I was - I had people running around shouting 'hi-ex!' straight away, never realising that the 'ex' stood for explosive, instead just thinking it was a cool thing to shout as you shot someone . . .in my defence, I was ten at the time . . .

Well what a way to be introduced to Dredd, "The Devil You Know" still is one of me favorite Dredd stories and was a perfect introduction to MC1. The rest , what can I say I liked ABC, and I don't think I got Strontium Dogs as I didn't know all that had gone before Universal Soldier was okay and the Miller Robohunter will not be spoken of here. Oh and a really cool cover. But despite a few years in the wilderness, I'm still here.

Can't disagree with the Robo-Hunter comments! I didn't really get Strontium Dogs at that point, either - but I got into it as the episodes progressed, and the ending of it was absolutely amazing; I think it was one of the first times that I realised a story could make you so emotional that you actually get a lump in your throat.

Hello and welcome.

Funnily enough 750 wasn't my first prog.
