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

Marlon Shakespeare - great character.

I remember the (hugely un-pc) 'fatties' with their belly wheels in Mega City 1.

And the block wars and the huge debate about what to call the comic in the year 2000AD!

I also remember it was different from other comics not just because of the great artwork, but also it had a sense of humour.

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

Nah, you're all right thanks. They go for about 10p each, so make it a grand and they're yours.

advertised for a couple of quid each on ebay

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.

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.

Whizzer and Chips.

The Beano was for Girls!

Strontium Dog

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!

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

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 do. Saturday afternoons were regularly spent hanging around in Forbidden Planet, followed by a trip to Orc's Nest. Or vise versa.

Yours for a tenner.

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