Welcome to Prog 51 which features ‘Invasion!‘, ‘Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘, ‘Walter the Wobot Fwiend of Dwedd‘, ‘Inferno!‘, ‘Dan Dare‘, ‘The Visible Man‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 11 February 1978.

Dan Dare‘ finally conquers the Dark Lord of the Starslayers Empire.

The Visible Man‘ has Frank realise there is no place for him in the world and decides to head back to the lab.

Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘ depicts an alien race hoisted by their own petard.

Judge Dredd‘ introduces us to the concept of war in the future, team-based combat which was ahead of its time when you consider the likes of Call of Duty and the wildly popular multiplayer matches and Warzone.

Invasion!‘ gives Savage a beating at the fists of Georgi and the cavalry arrives.

‘Walter the Wobot Fwiend of Dwedd‘ gets his pools mixed up…

And my “Pick of the Prog“: ‘Inferno‘ has the Heroes aka the Hellcats beaten by the Fiends and a new character comes in who is clearly a spin on Evel Knievel.

Prog 51 sent to the pits! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 52!

Florix Grabundae!
