Lapsed Fan Saying "Hi"

Stephen Parry · 30 March, 2016, 06:12:13 PM

Hi there, folks. Lapsed fan here (at least twelve years!). You know how it is: things get in the way, you fall out of habits, you spend your money on essentials, etc.

I was happy to jump on board again last week with Prog #1973. Excellent jumping-on point, it would seem. I look forward to reading more issues and I look forward to reading people's comments here.

Good to be here!

Hello there Stephen, you took your time...

Actually, 12 years is not the chasm of time you think, for me and plenty others. It's standard!

Hi Stephen only 12 years of catching up...you'll have no bother. Z

Well come back aboard and hope you enjoy the forum. My rough guess is you stopped around issue 1400 ish there's some glorious stuff coming your way if you decide to fill that gap.

Stephen Parry · 30 March, 2016, 10:11:12 PM

Thanks for the welcome, people. Catching up will be daunting, but most rewarding.

Twelve years!shame on you but still your just in time for book six of Halo Jones and the return of Dan Dare and oh yeah Johnny Alphas alive.i recommend you start your catch up with Dredd Apocalypse war 2.Welcome back.

ZenArcade · 31 March, 2016, 10:16:00 PM

Dredd is killed off around prog 1666.....a real pisser I know!! But we got over it. We love how his illicit clone daughter Josephine Dredd has taken over the reins. Z

Zenith 666 · 31 March, 2016, 10:46:43 PM

She's a big woman our Josephine.

Welcome back into the fold (unless you get digital, which don't have folded pieces of paper)!

Stephen Parry · 01 April, 2016, 04:02:19 PM

Thanks Sheridan!

When I jumped back on board, I did try digital, but, as with other publications, I cannot get used to it. Yes, it's cheaper, I know. And convenient. But I have to have paper in my hand, have to smell the paper, too.

Plus, if a wasp enters the room, I'd rather swipe my magazine at it than hit it with my Chromebook.
