Big fan of the UK comic 2000AD as a kid. I reckon the best period was issues 600-800 from about 88-92, really dark, satirical and well illustrated. Went shit after the Judge Dredd movie though. Some good stuff before '88 of course, but it was still a little bit too "Boys super action adventure stories!" for my taste. |

I remember back in the old days, my brother bought some of those when he was very young, and i was even younger, and we burned them in the fireplace because we thought they where to scary. Like, it would be normal to pass them on, or throw them out, but we had to burn them because it felt like they where pure evil. Then some years later, he started buying them again, and we loved them. I still get nostalgic of looking at that great cover art |

Yeah, they used to freak me out as a kid. There was one ABC Warriors story where this girl turned into a demon, so these religious people crushed her under a huge pile of rocks, it gave me proper nightmares when I was about nine. The artwork was really atmospheric and you could tell they'd put the time in. Every now and again I'll have a look at a recent issue in WHSmith, but it doesn't seem as good as the old days, stories are too generic and a lot of the artwork seems like it's been done on computers. |

Totally agree. I remember i was completely fascinated by the artwork as well. So much detail. I can't imagine how long those brilliant artists spent on those comics. Great shit. And yeah, the new stuff isnt the same. |

I recently downloaded a torrent of all 10 books of nemesis the warlock and book 1 of the ABC warriors.... i have a few episodes from the early 80's and more from the late 80's. John Hicklenton was my favourite artist.... very dark, violent, fucked-up style..... |
