I see that DCT has dealt with the obscuring of the comic logo (by the free gifts) by printing the logo on the plastic wrapper. I would love the old Dandy back but that isn't going to happen. Barring the odd mistake, the purpose of a comic is to give its readers enjoyment. The question I have is: Is ...

Thunder, Valiant, Lion and Jet - brilliant comics all. Now got the yen to leave work early and go through my collection of Lions.

Agreed. Actually, if there's anyone who has a copy of the merger and would be like to sell it, I would be interested.

I see that they are now repeating the earlier Dennis and Gnashers.

Ever since it come out in 1977, 2000AD has always been the comic for me. Yes, it has had it dips but on the main it has been good. One of its strengths (and I think why it has survived for so long) is that it has kept up with its readership. Unlike other comics which were pitched to a certain age gr...

What Mergers would you have liked to seen happen? For starters, the following: 2000AD and Warrior - far better surely than letting Warrior fade (yup, I know it was a different company but let's pretend Fleetway could have bought it). The Dandy and Cracker - My two favourite DCT humour comics and, to...

What about that Algy fellow!? Not only is he a letch (the way he looked at Angelina's bottom when she leaves after their quarrel). But then he goes after what he perceives is another woman (at this point, I would question either his commitment to Angelina or his intelligence (since a simple mask sto...

Actually, I only read a few Viz, my favourite being Black Bag(?), the parody of the Dandy's Black Bob.

I have started collecting Cracker comic and bought a few off eBay recently.

I also bought Number Ones of

Cracker
Donald Duck
Whoopee!
Thunderbirds

Winker Watson : Eric Roberts. Didn't he play the Master in the 1996 Doctor Who movie? ;) Bully Beef and Chips : Jimmy Hughes (pre-Beefy Haircut). Excuse my ignorance but is he the same artist who drew the Jocks and the Georgies? :lol: Good one, the DW reference. AndyB already said in this thread th...

Here's my two-penneth: Desperate Dan : Dudley Watkins. Though I did like Ken Harrison's version (especially Little Bear ;)), it was all the details that Dudley put into the strip that clinches it for me. Korky the Cat : Charles Grigg. To me, it is the definitive Korky artist (and I loved Bamforth Po...

Thanks, Digifiend. In my semi-conscious state last night, I did remember there was already a thread about this but couldn't find it (didn't check the Discussion section).

...with the free facsimile of the Dandy (1984). Very nice.

But it was bought.

At least the logo has stopped shrinking now.

Ah well. Off to work.
