You do realise that he was inspired by the DC Comics character Martian Manhunter, right?

The Vision was actually one of my favourite characters. I loved his powers and he was just that bit unusual, being an android. When I was five, I had an Avengers Annual, in which the Vision defeated Magneto. I got my Dad to draw a picture of the Vision, and took it to school with me.

What about Whizzer and Chips and Cheeky Weekly, the spin-off from Krazy (which I loved and had every issue of, bar the first couple)?
I remember when new comics used to come out all the time, and it was a bit of an event for kids to try and get hold of the first issue (I didn't have much luck, obviously, though I did have nos 1 and 2 of 2000 AD).
Of course, most of the comics sank or, more frequently 'merged' with others, so any really good stories could carry on.
The kids' comic market's sunk without trace these days. It's a shame, because they had some incredibly talented writers and artists working on them.

I happen to have the Batman Judge Dread comic from the 1990s
Which one? There were three or four, I think. Judgement on Gotham?
And a signed 1992 Judge Dread year book.
Signed by Judge Dredd?
