I was thinking about how I got into listening to power metal as a kid and remembered this:

And then I remembered that I still have this!

Where else has Dredd / 2000ad made its presence felt on other forms of media?

Love Helloween! And of course there's the Anthrax "I Am The Law" and Dredd on t-shirts and whatnot.

Cheers Skullmo, I'm always happy to re-read a bit of Sweeny Toddler!

The monthly is reprinting a story that appeared in the weekly comic. From memory, the Whoopee logo was even more like the 80s 2000AD logo than it is there.

Poor Charlotte Coleman, such a short life.

Wasn't there an episode of Primeval which had some nerds with 2000AD papering their walls?

Amy Reeder, artist on Rocket Girl, Madame Xanadu, & Batwoman, was asked what was the first comic that blew her mind. Her answer? Shamura. Specifically Quitely's first story. She even said that Rocket Girl was partially a homage to Inaba.

The song 'Kali Yuga' by underground punk band 'Bin Laden's Daughter' is reputedly inspired by Black Siddha.

That was exactly my reaction. I sometimes catch sight of her sister Lisa on Tracy Beaker, and think for a second that it's her.

Oh man, I had no idea! I just googled to see what you were on about . Now I am sad too. A horrible way to go too - I almost died of the same thing when I was 19.
