    Yours for a tenner.
    Still can't beat the original TV series though. Finally got it on DVD a few years back.

      It was Forever People for me. I picked up loads of stuff from there over the years, including getting Jamie Hewlett (He of Gorillaz and Tank Girl) to do a sketch for me for free as well as lending me a fiver. ;o)

        I've always been a fan of Hewlett's artwork. He's done some cracking stuff over the years.

          I got BULLET from Issue 1. Catriona Klansberg was my favourite character... Joined the fireball club too...

          I did like the various characters in the Dredd stories, Tweek, Walter etc.

          Favourite short(ish) story was "Fiends of the Eastern Front".

          Showing my age there!

            Chopper was the best of the Megacity/Dredd related stories I thought. A lot of the JD stuff itself got pretty repetitive.

              Wasn't a shade on the Dandy or Beano, I remember how flushed with pride I was reading about Minnie the Minx, Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, Desperate Dan and The Bash Street Kids.

                  I started reading it in 1978. Stopped in 1987.

                  Halo Jones, Judge Anderson were great. Nemesis was ok, but got a bit bogged down by the time they got to "Thoth".

                  Proper science fiction, for the most part.

                      Just been refreshing my memory of the magazine. I used to have the board game - Block Mania. IIRC, it was quite fun to play.
