Welcome to Prog 126 featuring ‘Dan Dare‘, ‘ABC Warriors‘, ‘Disaster 1990‘, ‘Project Overkill‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 18 August 1979.

Cover Art Robot: Unknown

Our man Bill Savage makes quite an epic appearance on this weeks cover as Disaster 1990 continues.

My pick of the Prog is: Dan Dare

Script Robot: Tom Tully

Art Robot: Dave Gibbons

Lettering Robot: Dave Gibbons

It’s been a while since Dan Dare had my pick and, funnily enough, it’s not really him I care about in this episode. Meet Morag a bad-ass bounty hunter who gets tangled up in Dan‘s bid to prove his innocence. Not only is she a strong female character, she has a kick-ass pterodactyl called Zark. From what I’ve seen of Morag and Zark, I’d love a spin-off for their adventures (this may or may not have happened – obviously I am DECADES behind so perhaps it has happened but if it hasn’t, I think it ruddy well should!)

Prog 126 pecked to death by a predatory pterodactyl! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 127.

Florix Grabundae!
