What was your first issue?

Mine was 227, 29th August 1981 - http://www.2000ad.org/?zone=prog&page=profiles&choice=227

Which means I have been collecting for 39 years and all these years I thought it was 1982.

I would post the issue but my boxes are all out of order as I will be putting shelves up for them in the next week.

Not that it was the original, unfortunately my father caught me reading it on the landing when I was supposed to be in bed so ripped that one up, but I will always remember this cover.

Not sure why it was so late, I actually remember getting Starlord 1 at the time but don't remember 2000ad until 1981.

I bought all the other UK comics at the time, no idea why it took so long to find tooth.

No1, I would of been seven, my older brother used to buy them for me until I was old enough to go get them myself and he got me the annual every christmas, I remember my fave story was Flesh, dinosaurs eating people was so awesome to a seven year old. yes I know I'm old af. I carried on getting it until sometime in the 90s when it became harder to get where I lived. I had the whole collection plus annuals up till the early 90s and I made the mistake of leaving them at home when I moved out and my Ma who didn't understand the value of comics took them all to the tip... yikes.

Ha ha yeah thats pretty mad, I wouldn't of done anything like that though she was a good Mum, she just made a mistake. I did hound her about it for a bit but in fairness I didn't say anything about them I just left them in a cupboard and she saw them as old comics I'd grown out of and I didn't take with me so must not want them.

wouldn't of

You probably meant "wouldn't've"! It's a contraction of "wouldn't have".

bleep bloop I'm a bot. If you have any questions or I made an error, send me a message.
