[Closed] What was your favourite comic strip as a child (apart from Dennis the Menace)?

Bash Street Kids.

Bash Street Kids.

Wizzer and Chips.

The VCs or ABC Warriors.

Bash Street Kids by a country mile - used to buy the Beano and only read that...

Rachel

Union Jack Jackson from Warlord, I think. Great stuff! Always refusing a commission to keep killing the baddies with his US buddies.

Oor Wullie (even though it was in 'twa pes an a pint' Dundonian) 😀

Dan Dare -would go with my pocket money to the local shop to get Eagle every week.

Kev

Billy whizz..

quite liked the numbskulls in The Beezer?

I hated Dan Dare and all the more grown up looking cartoons in the Dandy it was far too intelectual a read for me as a kid

Bash Street Kids was ace.

Also loved Tough of the Track, Alf Tupper was hard as nails.

I can't remember, I used to get Hurricane though.

I was actually remembering my favourite Torquemada/Nemesis story last night- the one where an advanced race decided to walk into the sea...and become the sea for Torquemada to come along and use them as fuel..

For the artwork alone:

THere were some amazing artists on 2000ad weren't they? Loved how they weren't afraid to swap round artists on the same characters.

I never liked the Tharg-thing though or when they had some gimp photographed in a Tharg-mask.

What was that London-based superhero storyline?

I had the first 50 2000ADs. My mum threw them away 🙁

2000AD Judge Dredd. Loved it for the 'art' of it (from some of the artists) as much as for the stories.

I had the first 50 2000ADs. My mum threw them away

I had everyone (inc monthly specials and annuals) for the first 10yrs. My Mum binned them two years ago 🙁

Mine are wrapped up in my parent's attic for a rainy day. though I'm not old enough to have started from ish 1.

Battle comic's Johnny Red

Johnny kicking ass again!!

Calvin and Hobbes 🙂 I also like the Far side, but C&H still resonate with me now

Ah Zenith it was!

Blast from the past- this was one of my fave 'niche' 2000ad strips 🙂

Wiz war feauring Wizard prang and demon druid

Charlie's war from Battle

Alf Tupper (The Tough of the Track) and a cyclist who I can't remember the name of. I've tried googling the cyclist and [i]Tearaway Telson? Black strip, no domestiques, fixed gear and 40mph up endless hills[/i] is the only name it comes up with, so if anyone can remember..................

Strange really as I had no interest in either cycling or athletics at the time.

Not so much a comic strip when I read them, but it was always between

and

In fact, it was probably 'Asterix in Corsica' that put it in my head for our first holiday abroad a few years ago...
Must look out all the books, + the 14-odd year collection of 2000 AD's for storing in case 14 week old mini-me gets interested... "Daa-aad, there's no gun-fire, sound or realistic 1st-person game-play..."

Also this fantastically illustrated version -

Willy the Kid. Only published as a book once a year, I think there were 3 books. A ruder version of the Beano.

good memories..
numbskulls and asterix

Bash Street Kids but also Desperate Dan and Roger the Dodger.

How could I forget Asterix! Tintin was also good but I loved Asterix 🙂

I had the first 50 2000ADs. My mum threw them away

Me too - the first few years worth. My mum gave them to the local school jumble sale when I went off to Poly. 😥 ABC warriors were my favourites too.

I also remember being introduced to Calvin and Hobbes about 20 years ago; a mate lent me one of the books. I laughed so hard I cried. Simply brilliant

Roger the Dodger. I also liked the rich chap and the poor one, Ivor Lott and Tony Broke?

Another one for Rogue Trooper.

Got most 2000ADs from 1986-2008 bagged up in the loft.
