Let's appreciate the Megazine

[Molch-R]

Let's also remember they are more inclined to run reader letters.

This is simply because we receive more printable/non-sweary letters regarding the Megazine each month than we do for the Prog each week.

[Buttonman]

That's interesting (to me at any rate!). I've always had better luck with the Meg with a 50% hit rate compared to about 25% for the Prog. Given the better Meg prize (GN instead of Heroclix) this is contrary to what one would expect. The exciting and unpredictable world of writing letter to Tharg!

Butonman, re the most letters. Its gotta be Floyd Kermode, he had numerous letters to the meg in 90's? Z

Buttonman is keeper of The Beast, an exhaustive database of every letter or reader's drawing reproduced in 2000ad, The Megazine, specials or annuals. As such, he is perfectly aware of the identity of the lucky Squaxx who holds that honour - what appears to be an innocent enquiry must therefore be understood as hubristic braggadocio. He's not been feeling well lately, but that doesn't explain or excuse his thirty year war of attrition against Tharg's letter-openers.

Thank you Sauchie - I sometimes forget there are innocents in our midst!

It is true that Floyd holds the 2000ad letter record (for now) but the combined 2000ad and megazine record rests in the noble town of Paisley, Renfrewshire. A bit like myself.




It's mine, all mine!

This fine article explains more. Skip the middle part featuring some also ran. And for uptodatedness I currently have 87 scores, 40 Prog and 47 Meg.

Proudfoot: "I was one of the few who got a drawing published in the Nerve Centre: Prog 427, right opposite a great page of Bolland's Dredd".

Try opposite Cliff Robinson's Anderson: Psi Division.

7 is my lucky number, so I don't want to reach that goal just yet

There have only been six instances of Dredd holding his weapon incorrectly or using the wrong tactics?

[Trout]

I'd forgotten those articles. They were fun!

Sauchie, checked out prog 427, nerve centre on inside page, the artist on opposite page is Cam Kennedy? Z

It says his age is 427, which is funny as he hasn't aged a day...

[ZenArcade]

Sorry, Cliff Robinson.

Sauchie you are sooo right, proof that if you can remember the 80's you weren't there.
I'll assumed wrongly that Dredd was in pole position in the prog and that Bolland was the artist, he must be reet pissed orf about this
