Hi All

Like others, I have been lurking on the forum (for the past ten months or so) and decided it was high time I joined in!

I used to read "early" 2000 AD in the late 70s through until 1981, when the family moved abroad to Singapore. I was there three years and then sent back to school in the UK, and never resumed reading the prog. I seemed to remember I was more into Kerrang magazine in those mid teenage years!

I fell back into reading 2000 AD when the Mega Collection started last year. At the same time I started getting the weekly prog, which has enthusiastically continued, and also steadily increased my graphic novel collection in general, covering 2000 AD, Marvel and DC.

Some of my other interests include model making, when I get the time (plastic and wood), old 1950s Land Rovers, Motorsport, drumming, and whilst I have quite a broad musical taste, "old school" heavy metal!

I look forward to start attending conventions/events, and meet up with some of you good folk. From the variety of posts on here it looks great fun. I live in York, so Thought Bubble is an obvious contender, and perhaps the Manchester event at "Event City".

Cheers

Gus

Welcome aboard, glad to hear you appear to be enjoying catching up - after a very long time in the wilderness. Always interesting to hear what other comics you like too.

Anyway glad you decided to join us and have fun.

Gus welcome fella. I spent 30 years wandering in the wilderness before I found my way home.

Have fun. Its a genuinely good place this.

Thanks fellas.

Colin, I enjoyed reading about your man cave project in the "comic porn" thread. Wish I had the space to do something like that, but then I don't have all those progs for starters!

Thanks, I really must get back to that with a boring (ahem quiet at the back) but important update...

Welcome!

Seem to be a lot of us finding our way from the wilderness, myself included. There is a mass migration towards 2000 AD recently - and we've all picked a great time to do it.

Cheers Stephen. Yes quite agree, and the Mega Collection seems to have been a great conduit for quite a few people.
