*more after the jump*
if i said i "grew up" with comics, then let it be said i grew-up "faster" with 2000AD comics.
"faster" becoz the themes depicted were beyond the regular (PG) American Spandex-Set (or even the Asian Martial Arts), where the glorious post-apocalyptical future filled the newsprint-pages with such delish-despondency and glamour-gloom, it was thoroughly mind-boggling! and thusly i was thrust into an "adult" world of comprehension (my definition, anyways) ... and i relished them with every cent i could afford (well, more than a cent actually) ... and unfortunately due to their regularity (weekly) and the inability to complete a run (i didn't have a subscription) hampered and stopped me from continuing ... but what it has left me with is a taste for British writers/writings [blogged] and complete appreciation for what i would term the British-version of Heavy Metal-magazine art :)
and while i attempt to go scan my collection of 2000AD-covers (*heh*),
here's a coupla related-links on my blog:
