comic book favourite

[Wayland]

I used to have a soft spot for Modesty Blaise when I was younger.

These days it would have to be Matthew out of the Sandman.

I always liked calvin and hobbs. I never really got into the 2000AD comics, but I did enjoy the JD books my friend had..

2000ad comics were great! ABC warriors and Stainless Steel Rat stories especially. The paperback book of Jim DiGriz were really enjoyable. I never really got into Strontium Dog, or V but the Judge Dredd stories were OK.

Spiderman was always my fav though, along with Conan. When the film came out I dreaded it, but thought Arnie did a pretty good job. Toby Maguire on the other hand needed a slap.

Modesty Blaise. I never really got into the comics but the books? Sheesh! I've read them to death.

Calvin and Hobbes have me laughing out loud. If you like them run a search for Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows. They've gotta be my favourites for the pant wetting laughter they induce.

There were several comics I read as a kid, progressed up from Beano and Dandy, I so wanted to be Billy the Cat. Then I discovered the Trigan Empire in some old Look and Learn comics and consigned The beano thereafter as a childrens comics after that.

Another character who springs to mind from my childhood was The Spider. He had a widows peak haircut and look liked Spock's creepy brother. To this day I can't be sure if he was a goodie or a baddie.

How about Dan Dare? I wish I'd got into that series but it was a bit before my time.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane folks

My Favs. Spiderman, Conan, The Hulk and Don Lawrence's Carrie

I remember buying issue 1 of 2000AD. Wish I'd kept it.

An interesting online SF comic strip is The Wandering Ones It's heavily based on bushcraft and Tom Brown's tracking courses. I should add he is a somewhat controversial figure.

Doc mentioned online comics, has anyone read the Gone with the Blastwave series? It's only 42 pages and well worth the time investment. Have a gander here:

And if you're a fan of Lord of the Rings films and RPG's (Role playing games) check this out. It's an epic though and addictive but very funny, at least I found it so.

Batman is my default answer to this type of question so I don't have to spend 20mins explaining who he is.

I read a lot of Gen13 in my teens for obvious reasons
