(Shamelessly inspired by the BBC Breakfast piece this morning)

For me it was The Numbskulls

Bash Street Kids.

Bash Street Kids.

Wizzer and Chips.

The VCs or ABC Warriors.

Bash Street Kids by a country mile – used to buy the Beano and only read that…

Rachel

Union Jack Jackson from Warlord, I think. Great stuff! Always refusing a commission to keep killing the baddies with his US buddies.

Oor Wullie (even though it was in ‘twa pes an a pint’ Dundonian) 😀

Dan Dare -would go with my pocket money to the local shop to get Eagle every week.

Kev

Billy whizz..

quite liked the numbskulls in The Beezer?

I hated Dan Dare and all the more grown up looking cartoons in the Dandy it was far too intelectual a read for me as a kid

Bash Street Kids was ace.

Also loved Tough of the Track, Alf Tupper was hard as nails.

I can’t remember, I used to get Hurricane though.

I was actually remembering my favourite Torquemada/Nemesis story last night- the one where an advanced race decided to walk into the sea…and become the sea for Torquemada to come along and use them as fuel..

Another bash st kids fan here!

The Pathetic Sharks. I’m still a kid.

Brilliant, agreed!

For the artwork alone:

THere were some amazing artists on 2000ad weren’t they? Loved how they weren’t afraid to swap round artists on the same characters.

I never liked the Tharg-thing though or when they had some gimp photographed in a Tharg-mask.

What was that London-based superhero storyline?

I had the first 50 2000ADs. My mum threw them away 🙁

2000AD Judge Dredd. Loved it for the ‘art’ of it (from some of the artists) as much as for the stories.

I had the first 50 2000ADs. My mum threw them away

I had everyone (inc monthly specials and annuals) for the first 10yrs. My Mum binned them two years ago 🙁

Mine are wrapped up in my parent’s attic for a rainy day. though I’m not old enough to have started from ish 1.

Battle comic’s Johnny Red

Johnny kicking ass again!!

Calvin and Hobbes 🙂 I also like the Far side, but C&H still resonate with me now

Ah Zenith it was!

Blast from the past- this was one of my fave ‘niche’ 2000ad strips 🙂

Wiz war feauring Wizard prang and demon druid

Charlie’s war from Battle

Alf Tupper (The Tough of the Track) and a cyclist who I can’t remember the name of. I’ve tried googling the cyclist and Tearaway Telson? Black strip, no domestiques, fixed gear and 40mph up endless hills is the only name it comes up with, so if anyone can remember………………

Strange really as I had no interest in either cycling or athletics at the time.

Not so much a comic strip when I read them, but it was always between

and

In fact, it was probably ‘Asterix in Corsica’ that put it in my head for our first holiday abroad a few years ago…
Must look out all the books, + the 14-odd year collection of 2000 AD’s for storing in case 14 week old mini-me gets interested… “Daa-aad, there’s no gun-fire, sound or realistic 1st-person game-play…”

Also this fantastically illustrated version –

Willy the Kid. Only published as a book once a year, I think there were 3 books. A ruder version of the Beano.

good memories..
numbskulls and asterix

Bash Street Kids but also Desperate Dan and Roger the Dodger.

How could I forget Asterix! Tintin was also good but I loved Asterix 🙂

I had the first 50 2000ADs. My mum threw them away

Me too – the first few years worth. My mum gave them to the local school jumble sale when I went off to Poly. 😥 ABC warriors were my favourites too.

I also remember being introduced to Calvin and Hobbes about 20 years ago; a mate lent me one of the books. I laughed so hard I cried. Simply brilliant

Roger the Dodger. I also liked the rich chap and the poor one, Ivor Lott and Tony Broke?

Another one for Rogue Trooper.

Got most 2000ADs from 1986-2008 bagged up in the loft.
