These are comics I remember reading at the age of seven. They were both cruely confiscated from me by "teachers" and "guardians"(pa I spit in your faces go to hell authoritarian anti beings) before i could rember the titles. So:

1) In 2000ad- a man gets hooked with a bunch of wicca people in the forest, strange goings on, nudity, he wears torques. There are a pair of naked women in the "crew".

2) Now this one i have trouble convincing people it existed, they say i've got problems, but: a giant T-rex lookalike sits on a chair overlooking a sort of giant funnel that people get pushed down and have their souls taken. A blue figure, representing hope, rises from it, much to the annoyance of the t-rex guy. I seem to rember the people were naked or fairly underdressed,and theres like a diving board thing, and the trex guy might have worn a suit.

Thanks in advance to anyone who remembers these.

How old are you now? So we can figure out how long ago thse comics were released.

2) Sounds like TeknoPhage which featured a T-Rex look a like who did... something. It was published by Tekno Comix, Neil Gaiman wrote some stuff for them (Blind Justice?) and one comic was based on something found at the bottom of Gene Roddenberry's waste basket (Forgotten/ Lost Universe?)

The naked wicca-people story could be either Slaine or Finn. It sounds more like Finn.

Which was great - the best thing about it being that it was essentially a 2000AD-ised spin-off of Mills' 'Third World War' strip in Crisis. IIRC in the final story arc they had a bunch of 3WW characters come back in new roles - Eve was in it being all morally concerned, as always, and Trisha the Born Again Thatcherite Christian came back as a Total Nazi Bitch. It was brilliant. It was like someone rewriting, I don't know, 'A Small Killing', but with superpowers! And DEMONS! And EXPLOSIONS!

Marvellous.
