This thread has caused me to pick up 2000ad again. None of the stories grabbed me particularly; Dredd is pretty good, Sinister Dexter's okay with nice art, Bec and Cawl sucks a big one, it's like some awful piece of fan fiction. Having said that I did enjoy the novelty of reading an anthology again. I found all the different art styles stimulating and it actually made me think about drawing again. I've just picked up my first consecutive issue and will continue for a bit. I'm actually looking forward to the potential of New Thrills next week. I am not looking forward to the ammount of space these things are going to start taking up, though. This thread may be indirectly responsible for the reorganization of my room.

Oh, and Smith did a unique line in describing the indescribable and is most certainly his own writer. Similarities bettween him and Morrison are more likely to be zeitgeist rather than Smith following Morrison's lead. They were very much contempories back in the day.

There was a thread on John Smith hereabouts, don't know if it's still around.

Just a quick bump to say well done that Betelguesian! The news in from Bristol -

2000AD -Best International Comic
Dom Reardon - Best New Talent
Dredd - Best Character
Henry Flint - Best Artist
Necronauts - Best Graphic Novel
2000adonline - Best Magazine or Website

Plus a big hooray to Solar Wind, the best small press title. Edited by Paul 'Von' Scott and helped by many posters on the 2k board it's an affectionate tribute to the boys comics of the 70's. Funniest comic around today.
