Title: I'm not new here but...
Post by: tz1963 on August 26, 2016, 05:08:31 PM
I'm not sure that I've ever posted an introduction here or not but for the most part, I've been a member here for a while now (not even sure when I joined). LOL But my story of online comics in a nutshell is this:

I was in a few porn sites and one of them had a section for mainstream comic books (non-porn) and I started to get into comic scans... From there I found my way to zcult and then we went to comics UK (like a request forum for pirate bay torrents) and eventually I got the foolish notion that I have comics that aren't being shared online yet and I could help the community (silly me)... I found my way into other forums and torrent sites and continued to scan stuff from my personal collection. Eventually someone in the forums, mentioned that I should join the DC++ hubs and get more help from people there... It took me about 2 years to take that advice.  Eventually I started exploring yahoo groups and got into the UK comics and fell in love with the whole UK Comics genre as a whole. A friend suggested that I register here and that brings me full-circle to here!

Hello tz1963.  Glad you finally introduced yourself.  No point in telling you to enjoy the comics as you've been doing that for a while now ;D
As I suggested over on the Yahoo group, have a look at the reading group.  Mark put up issue #4 of Streamline, the only complete issue we have.  Obscure, old, looks like a fanzine and has Denis Gifford art on the last story.
Pitch in, you know it makes sense ;)
