2000AD best comic ever……….fact

Loved Dredd!

Had a hard paper round by the looks of it!

Absolutely used to love 2000 ad, ABC warriors and bad company were my favourites.

I think they ruined star wars for me though, Luke and crew were such beige insipid creations by comparison.

this bloke’s 76 and would give the Judge a run through

That’s despite the rejuve.

I AM the law.

Ol’ Stoney Face.
Strontium Dog all the way….

But did you invent him ?

This guy is 40 years old…

No, he isn’t.

JD didn’t appear until Prog 2, publication: March 5th, 1977.

Sorry to be a thrill-sucker.

…and of course there was rogue trooper, who I used to enjoy imagining had gone insane and just believed that his friends minds had been implanted in his kit.

First edition of the magazine came with a space spinner……Didn’t it?

Loved it…..

I think I bought the first edition, I can’t really remember I was only 7 at the time and was too young to understand the content, I have a vague memory of being disappointed that it wasn’t like the beano (I think my dad may have also not have approved). It was when I was in my teens that it became staple reading.

Whatever happened to Halo Jones? I had quite a crush on her.

hookjaw was a fave too. remember that?

Harlem heroes

Bill Savage

Loved both

Massive chip on his shoulder.

DR and Quinch and the futureshocks were fab. Though I wasn’t a big fan of the story at the time, I think the Buttonman would make an excellent TV series or film. I was also an avid reader of Crisis, which in the 1980’s/early 90’s appeared left wing and crazy to me, but in hind sight looked somewhat prophetic!

Used to love it, wonder what its like these days?

That reminds me, I have an Anthrax 7″ I Am The Law picture disc somewhere. Probably with a pile of 2000AD’s.

hookjaw was a fave too. remember that?

From Action, which was a far superior comic IMHO

Haven’t got the copy of issue one anymore, unfortunately. But am looking at a letter from Tharg that accompanied the original Star Wars soundtrack LP I won in their competition a long time ago.

Had the first couple of hundred progs. They were left in the loft when we moved…

Dredd was always the one, but so much other great stuff.

Zenith
Bad Company
Strontium Dog
ABC Warriors
Nemesis

+1 for Crisis too

I know I mentioned this before, but one of my claims to fame is that, for 8 issues in 1991, I had my own character in 2000AD. Long story but an old mate of mine was in the throes of becoming a comic writer (he’s famous now) and did it for a bit of a laugh.

This was me:

I was a bad guy 🙂

Massive chip on his shoulder.

No, that’s an eagle

DR and Quinch

Still remember the motto of the Space Marines…”Chew plutonium death you disgusting Alien Weirdos…”

Always thought Rougue Trooper would make a brilliant film.

Wasn’t banking on Avatar.

..and let’s not forget

Codybrennan FTW!

The Future Shock! The Story of 2000AD documentary was a pretty interesting watch. The influence of various writers/artists and the politics of getting involved with the US …

Yeah that mentions the whole Halo Jones thing as well.

Mine is in my parents shed still 😀

I remember getting 50p a week pocket money & blowing 18 of it on 2000ad & 2p on1/2p mix up sweets leaving me 30p for the rest of the week

There were rumours of a Rogue Trooper film a while ago..?

Loved Invasion 2000 and always thought it was only a matter of time before the Russians Volgans invaded us 😯

Used to love it, wonder what its like these days?

A lot more adult, it’s interesting to see how it’s grown with it’s readership. And Dredd’s still my favourite, although Devlin Waugh, Halo Jones, DR&Quinch and all the rest are great too.

A Zarjaz thread earthlings. The TPO is strong here! 😀

Still have these in my bookshelf. Was originally planned to be 7 chapters I believe!

My Brother in law still buys it every week and I’m always chasing him for old copies.

I think I might be the only person in the world who liked the Stallone Judge Dredd movie….

Or would admit to it 😉

Igmc

The stallone movie was Ok – a decent enough mish-mash of the best bits – it was just ruined by Stallone being in it.

The Karl Urban Dredd version was just brilliant. I do hope they make a sequel.

I liked Flesh, on account of being right into Dinosaurs when I was 10.
