Starlord Comics (UK)

[roguespirit]

Over 25 years ago was a great British comic called Starlord. After 22 issues it was absorbed into 2000AD. Now in my humble opinion at that time Starlord was superioir in terms of art and stories to 2000AD (with the exception of Judge Dredd) and sales figures apparently were higher. However absorbed it was.

It was a brilliant magazine and the memories are really strong for me. So ccheck out the Starlord (http://www.watchthestars.sevenpennynightmare.co.uk/) website (still in development)to see what it was all about.

Yep, I was a bit of a fan. As I recall, it was also printed on higher quality paper than 2000AD was at the time.

It's so long ago I can hardly remember the strips but looking at the web site reminded me; did Ro-Busters and Strontium Dog really start off in "Starlord". They quickly became 2000AD mainstays, didn't they?

Better quality paper and more colour as well.

And yea Ro-Busters and SD most definetly came from StarLord. I remember boycotting 2000AD because of the other quality strips that got dropped.

The boycott didn't last too long though....or have much of an impact, I don't think anyone noticed.
