My childhood was shaped by a comic book called 2000 AD, and it is probably - no definitely - the reason I am now a sci-fi novel writer. Over the many years of 2000 AD’s history I started and stopped reading the comic book for longer or shorter periods, but I read an awful lot of them. For this book, I intend to read every single one of them, from issue one.

This book, therefore, is about the grande dame of British comic books, a publication named 2000 AD, with some diversions to take a look at related titles, such as its short-lived stablemate Starlord, which got me into sci-fi comics in the first place. It is an impossible and incomplete selection of recaps, musings, reviews, and assorted contemplations of a comic book that stretches over decades, and thousands of issues.
