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 254 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘Abelard Snazz‘, ‘Nemesis the Warlock‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘, ‘The Mean Arena‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 6 March 1982.
Cover Art Robot: Carlos Ezquerra
Judge Dredd tears off on his Lawmaster on this weeks cover!
My pick of the Prog is: Abelard Snazz
Script Robot: Alan Moore
Art Robot: Paul Neary
Lettering Robot: Tony Jacob
Just when we thought we had seen the last of Abelard Snazz, he returns in another daft blunder after some future-hippy types come to save him. Although, he has spent six million years solving the cube from where we left him last (Prog 245). Taken to a mellow world full of mellow people, Abelard feels tedium setting in – this world has everything. But, everything is not enough for Abelard as he must stimulate his mind somehow and so he sets to creating robot tennis players so people the mellow folks can relax even more and watch tennis as opposed to participate but, given our exposure to Abelard’s life thus far, we know how his ideas go… especially when they involve robots!
Prog 254 jogs on! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 255.
Florix Grabundae!
