35 years old today, 2000AD became top dog thanks to the gallows humour and skills of writers and artists from north of the Border. By Catriona Stewart
The year 2000 seemed an impossibly distant future when the first copy of the cult sci-fi comic hit the shelves but today the internationally renowned classic celebrates its 35th anniversary.
