Did someone mention Buster? That brings back some memories. I used to read Whizzer and Chips when I was a lad, but dumped it once I "acquired" a friend's sister's collection of old 2000 ADs. If I could just remember where I put the damn things...

Haven't bought a single issue comic for years now. These days I just wait for the trade paperback edition to come out .

Xena, I have the complete run of X-Files comics, including the fancy limited edition ones where they used to adapt episodes of the TV series. Pity my copy of the first issue (Do Not Open 'til X-mas) is only a second printing.

If I remember correctly, the Xena comics were published by the same company that did the XF ones. That's how I discovered the Warrior Princess, because they had pictures of her on the back covers .

BUSTER! Whizzer & Chips! Great stuff!

You know which comic was better than all those, though? OINK!

What's current Judge Dredd like? As I said before, I stopped reading after "Necropolis", which was awesome. Oh, and I read the first JD/Batman crossover which wasn't too flash.

Spiff, I'm sorry to say I junked my entire Whizzer & Chips collection while cleaning out my old room at my late grandmother's house . If I'd known that you could have given them a good home, I'd have sent them to you!

Can't say I've ever read Oink, and the last 2000 AD I bought was around Prog 780-something. My newsagent stopped carrying it, so I lost track.

I turfed my Whizzer & Chips and Busters years ago, don't worry Oink! was hilarious - it was an attempt at making a "Viz" for kids, so you can sort of guess what it was like. Lots of toilet humour and stuff, but very funny. The editor was a pig (Uncle Pigg) and so there was a bit of a piggy theme through the whole thing. One week they even had cassette tape covers you could cut out, and one of them was for "Pigiron Maiden". Bwahahaha And one week they had a spoof of "Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", but I was too young to realise they were probably talking about the book or movie and not the Maiden song (I was about ten or eleven at the time, I guess).
