"Great News Chums!" was the dreaded phrase that met British comic fans in the 1970's when they opened up their favourite weekly only to find that from next week, it would be merging with a crap publication you never bought. I can't guarantee that we won't merge this blog with one on, say, Taiwanese politics. But for now, enjoy a trip into pre-1985 graphic goodness.

Free Inside This Week's 2000AD!



Two badges that came cover mounted with 2000AD in the early 80s.
The lower one was a bit too big and cumbersome, while the replica shield looked impressive, but oddly came without any means of attaching it to you.











After the Space Spinner in issue 1 and the 'biotronic' arm stickers in issue 2, the Mighty Tharg gave away this bit of cardboard tat in issue 3, encouraging readers to mutilate their comics by slicing out pages containing 'hidden codes' which would help on those all-important missions of going to the shop for some sweets.
