I thought this would be like those “Important News Inside For All Our Readers” straplines you’d see on the front covers of comics in the 1970s. So we’re not merging with Buster, then?
Whizzer and Chips was never the same after the merger with Whoopee!
And things are much harder than the AfterWord, in this life, you’re on your own
@sixdog fond memories of 2000AD absorbing Starlord and Tornado in the post-Star Wars boom thinning out of 80s sci-fi comics. If you were after the ‘and’ you were not long for the world.
Ish 1 of Star Lord was legendary: Johnny Alpha’s freaky eyes, Ro-Busters and the Channel Tunnel, James Blocker, Nazis and giant lizard aliens, “acid rain” that was actual acid and melted the face off pretty ladies! A lot of this in glorious colour and printed on better-than-bogroll standard paper!
Compared to this, Star Wars was a load of old cock…
Commando flashbacks – Gott in himmel, aiiiiii, take that Fritz, die englander
You weren’t there man, you weren’t there
You forgot “Englischer pigdog!”
Also they don’t talk or shout, they grit. Eg “take that, Hun” gritted the plucky tommy”.
I’m considering a move to Memphis.
In the Pacific war stories the Japanese soldiers were quite fond on dying with an “aieee” or sumach as I recall.
