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 265 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘, ‘Robo-Hunter‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 22 May 1982.
Cover Art Robot: Robin Smith
Dredd stands beside a pack of Bubblicious gum (free gift) while East-Meg burns on this weeks cover!
My pick of the Prog is: Rogue Trooper
Script Robot: Gerry Finley-Day
Art Robot: Cam Kennedy
Lettering Robot: Bill Nuttall
We are introduced to Mister Bland and Mister Brass in this weeks episode. I saw a post on Facebook before I got to this story by Gordon Rennie who commented on their likeness to the Bradford & Bingley logo from the old building society ads and I can see it, plus their eagerness to become rich seems very fitting. In Rogue they see a veritable cash cow and they stand backand watch as Rogue takes out more Norts in a display of cunning we’ve not really seen much of from Rogue so far (guerilla warfare?). I have a feeling we shall be seeing Mister Bland and Mister Brass again in the near future…
Prog 265 scrapped for cash! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 266.
Florix Grabundae!
