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 264 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘, ‘The Mean Arena‘, ‘Robo-Hunter‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 15 May 1982.
Cover Art Robot: Ian Gibson
Sam Slade graces the cover again this week against a robo-knight that reminds me of the Tree Sentinel in Elden Ring.
My pick of the Prog is: Robo-Hunter
Script Robot: Alan Grant
Art Robot: Ian Gibson
Lettering Robot: Steve Potter
Still on the case of disappearing guests at Blackheart Manor, Sam finds himself up against some Robo-Knights as he battles to stay alive and finally crack this case. In frantic scenes delivered in stunning Gibson style, he comes out relatively unscathed with the suspected beast in tow while Hoagy becomes a bit too familiar with a secret room and Talbot declares Slade has to be dealt with…
Prog 264 dumped into a secret room! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 265.
Florix Grabundae!
