Welcome to Prog 85 featuring ‘Ant Wars‘, a double-dose of ‘Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘, ‘Walter the Wobot‘, ‘Dan Dare‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 7 October 1978.

Cover Art Robot: Mike McMahon

In this cover we see a rather tarnished looking Dredd as the thrilling climax of Cursed Earth is proclaimed.

My Pick of the Prog in this issue is ‘Judge Dredd‘.

Script Robot: Pat Mills

Art Robot: Mike McMahon

Lettering Robot: Tom Frame

The strip is chaotic. With Dredd fighting for his life and barely making it to Mega-City 2. His exposed arms and leg looking like he’s part werewolf. A tear-jerking send off for Tweak and Dredd marching off to return to Mega-City 1 after taking as little time as possible to recover.

Prog 85 launched back to its home planet! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 86!

Florix Grabundae!
