My son is starting to regularly read the prog now and today for the first time came out to talk about how much he liked strontium dog and dante!!
Happy days.
My eldest has been reading the casefiles over the past couple of weeks, and has gone through a fair number of them- four or five from volume 6 through to 11, or thereabouts. He's familiar with Dredd, of course, having a complete run of Lawman of the Future, and various Hamlyn collections- not to mention lots and lots of Eagle and Quality reprints. He likes it, but it's not a massive part of his entertainment.
However, two weeks or so ago, I put the first Stront Agency Files in his room... and he studiously ignored it, consistently. Then, last night, I'd forgotten to turn his light off and only realised at about eleven, after spending an evening looking at animated gifs of some movie that's coming out. I went up to tuck him in, thinking he'd be asleep, only to walk into a barrage of excited questions about the Stront universe, a wide-eyed eight year old bouncing on his bed, and his shouts of "I LOVE Strontium Dog, daddy! What happens to the gronk? Wulf's so funny!"
Job done there, I think.
