I used to be a massive comic fan, but haven't bought any for years. Although I will say, I have met one of the freelance artists from 2000AD, and he lives fairly close and he has invited me over to his (and his wife's) studio. He is going to teach me how to use watercolours more artistically. Mr. Green

All the best

When I was a kid I had seven or so boxes of 2000AD given to me, they started at number 1 and went up fairly high, read them over and over then a few years later I binned to lot ( TWAT )...

Was also given a lot of early Spiderman comics aswell, they went the same way ( Cockend )...

And when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came out I started collecting the comics, I'd read them a few times and copy the pictures from them then cut pictures out and plaster the bedroom walls with them, found out about eighteen months later that a few weeks after the first issue came out it was worth 200 quid for some reason ( Knobarse )...

I used to be an avid reader and collector of 200AD and all its spin-offs (Crisis, Revolver etc), my Dad 'accidentally' threw out loads of the early ones (up to about prog 500), and i sold the rest on eGay for a pittance a while ago as they just took up too much space - even considering that loads of them were thrown out, there was still several large boxfuls of comics, annuals, specials etc etc.
I've got most of the progs now in .cbr format, and they take up considerably less space.
Personally, the heyday of 2000AD for me was back in the late 80s/early 90s, it slumped a bit for me towards the mid/late 90s, and that was when i stopped buying it.
My fave story was probably Ulysses Sweet - the one where he met up with the vegetable liberation front (who only ate edible rocks) and had to rescue a kidnapped talking potato called King Edward.

Big Dave was OK.

B.L.A.I.R 1 was brilliant.

FFC is another old friend.

I used to move around a fair bit, whilst I can justify storing books for a while when between houses it's a bit different crating up old comics. I can appreciate the desire but pragmatism wins.

Speaking of such things, I must get around to picking up the "Preacher" series Thinking

Definitely give preacher a blast. If you like them, check out Ennis' Punisher comics.
