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 258 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘, ‘The Mean Arena‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 3 April 1982.
Cover Art Robot: Massimo Belardinelli
Speedo Ghost gloriously bursts out on this weeks cover!
My pick of the Prog is: Tharg’s Future-Shocks
Script Robot: David Perry
Art Robot: Redondo
Lettering Robot: Tony Jacob
I have a confession. When I looked at the first page of this Future-Shock, entitled ‘The Lanulos Run!‘ I was like “yawn, more space stuff”. But I was hasty in my judgement as this turned out to be a fun, cheesy but well played romp and I was not expecting the cargo to be what it turned out to be. I was expecting food, medicine or the typical stuff that people would desperately need. But I should be wise to the ways of Tharg by now, 258 Progs in. I should know better. Shame on me.
Prog 258 dumped on Lanulos! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 259.
Florix Grabundae!
