Scream - anyone ever read this when they were young?

hamster

I got 12 issues of Scream when I was young - It started in March 1984. I was in hospital at the time and the kid next to me had it and I was hooked for the short history that scream existed for - 2 years. It was a great new comic at the time and I have many happy memories from it. They were great stories in it like "The thirteenth floor" and "Monster". It lead me on to The Eagle which had Doomlord and the Thirteen Floor (which then pulled me over to Eagle for a few years).

Anyone remember Scream? There are a few fansites around with scanned issues of Scream now. Took my breath away since I had forgotten about it and lost the issues a few years after getting them - I never knew where though. But the scanned stories are as good as new. Sigh!

Yep... I used to love it as well...

I had that first issue with the free fangs and everything.

The Thirteenth Floor was always favourite of mine alright.

Alan Moore wrote loads of syuff for Scream. It was the comic that got me out of the Buster, Wizzer and Chips etc into Eagle and 2000 AD. I loved it!

Wow didn't know anyone else read this comic too!!
13th floor was my fave too and deezoid it bridged the gap for me from whizzer and chips to 2000ad too

Thanks for the addy have to bookmark it read 13th floor again but I'd say the stories mightn't aged too well though.

To this day I still don't know what happened to them. But it's great to have lot scanned again. That first 13th floor story still rings bell... the one where the money loaner gets put into a pacman like game up against tax collectors I think.

Eagle had a good story too - Doomlord - those issues too went walkies... harder to find those.

Looks Good. Wonder if it holds the classic strips around 1985-1987...

Wow, yeah! My brother, the idiot, having held on to his Scream collection for around 12 years, decided to throw them out in 1996 (along with his Shoots from 1983 to 1986). For shame!

i remember buying this and i just read a book from the library called the ultimate book of british comics which was out last year and goes through all the british comics for the last 60 years
it said that Scream was very collectible and i was trying to remember did i have any, so i'm going to have a look around in the attic to see if i have any left
