Welcome to Prog 9 which features ‘Invasion!‘, ‘Flesh‘, ‘Dan Dare‘, ‘Harlem Heroes‘, ‘M.A.C.H.1‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 23 April 1977.

I’ve been struggling with figuring out how to format these posts in the sense of listing the stories in the order they’re printed or just keeping my favourite until last. Not sure what makes for better reading or if anyone who reads this just wants to see what my pick is and then buggers off? Let me know in the comments what you prefer.

For now, I think I’ll stick to the order in which they appear for the most part an put my favourite at the end.

‘Invasion!‘ goes from land to sea for some maritime Volg action.

‘Flesh‘ gives us Jurassic Park style tourist action on a train.

The ‘Harlem Heroes‘ face the Montezuma Mashers in an aerodrome fashioned after an Aztec temple.

‘Dan Dare‘ tricks the Biogs to save his skin and his crewmates.

‘Judge Dredd‘ attends the Robot of the Year show, a convention that reminded me of the bit in the new Robocop game. IYKYK.

And my “Pick of the Prog“: ‘M.A.C.H.1‘ continues with more stunts while he drives two Jeeps at once! This story felt daft and I really enjoyed it. This is probably karma for me saying I probably will never pick John Probe‘s antics as my favourites… It felt very A-Team-ish this time around and I loved it!

Prog 9 is in the bag and the last single-digit issue! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 10!

Florix Grabundae!
