Comment...I used to read old Eagle comics at my grandmother's house, hence my love of Dan Dare. I started reading 2000AD at Prog 16 after my parents banned me from reading Warlord for a year, though I stopped from 450 to 799 (until I realised that adults read comics too). Now I've completed my collection and branched out into other 2000AD/Judge Dredd/Dan Dare memorabilia.

Comment: I first encountered the magazine which would shape much of my attitudes on Oct 14th 1978 (Prog 86). I'd been getting Starlord and only came across 2000AD when they merged. I stopped around 476 as I had the same idiotic thought at Wakefield. It wasn't till 1000 that I started bying it again after only buying the odd graphic novel. Since then I've collected the ones I missed (that was a long splendid summer, over 500 progs to read!!), and now I'm only missing 1-84 and a lot of cupboard space.
Letters published: Prog 1083 (my 1000th prog celebration) and more recently Prog 1148.

Comment... I have been a reader since I was 15 with a couple of gaps. I have found that the recent stories have picked up and the previous lull (Space Girls Etc) have long been forgotten. I have always found the stories to be quite well balanced between humour and action, I have been enthralled and drawn into the world of Dredd as he has matured, been more lenient and even kissing a woman!! I am also glad that I have found this site and will become an avid visitor in the future.

Comment... I've been reading since Prog 1, collecting since about Prog 130 but stopped buying the comic not long after Necropolis finished; the story lines just didn't hold their weight for me anymore, but continued getting the odd copy here and there and filling in my collection blanks, graphic novels etc. As for my view of the movie, good action flick but just not Dredd...
