Welcome to my personal Prog slog through 2000AD. Here, I post daily about my favourite story from each Prog. I started doing this as a means of focusing my attention on something. A hobby, if you will. Something that will bring joy and fond memories for fans as well as draw attention to and hopefully bring in new readers to The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. I have never read these Progs before. I recall reading some of Flesh at some point in my childhood, knew of Judge Dredd from a PlayStation One game and then the 1995 Movie, Rogue Trooper from the PlayStation 2 Game and had heard of other stories and seen other characters from seeing posts online. So I’m pretty much experiencing most of these stories as an intergalactic virgin. Or something. So if you are an established reader whose loyalty to Tharg has been unwavering, or if you’ve dropped off reading 2000AD, lie somewhere in between or if you are a newcomer to The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic then please let me know via the comments or hit me up on my socials!
Without further ado…
Welcome to Prog 267 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘The Mean Arena‘, ‘Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘, ‘Robo-Hunter‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 5 June 1982.
Cover Art Robot: Brett Ewins
Judge Dredd straddles a nuke as it heads right for us on this weeks cover!
My pick of the Prog is: Judge Dredd
Script Robot: TB Grover
Art Robot: C Ezquerra
Lettering Robot: T Frame
Following on from my pick yesterday, East-Meg One is wiped out and Dredd hatches crazy plan involving his and the other Judges’ surrender. The episode takes a dark yet comical twist as War-Marshal Kazan commands Izaaks to play Russian roulette once a day until such time as the gun fires. What a brutal and twisted punishment for poor Izaaks! Kazan is such a fantastically written character, even though we are to hate him I can’t help but feel drawn to him because his ways are so out there and entertaining.

Prog 267 pops a cap in its own ass! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 268.
