Welcome to Prog 239 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘Nemesis the Warlock‘, ‘The Mean Arena‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 21 November 1981.

Cover Art Robot: Kevin O’Neill

Nemesis and Torquemada duel on this weeks cover!

My pick of the Prog is: Rogue Trooper

Script Robot: Gerry Finley-Day

Art Robot: Dave Gibbons

Lettering Robot: Bill Nuttall

This episode starts with a Souther platoon and follows their time on Nu Earth through the intermittent battles and tedium of waiting for orders/targets. Gibbons’ artwork really is phenomenal and these deep blacks and line work bring out so much detail as the soldiers meet their demise in a “hard rain” before the survivors stumble upon Rogue…

Prog 239 gets pelted by hard rain! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 240.

Florix Grabundae!
