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 283 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘Robo-Hunter‘, ‘Tharg The Mighty‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 25 September 1982.

Cover Art Robot: Robin Smith

Tharg The Mighty graces this weeks cover.

My pick of the Prog is: Ace Trucking

Script Robot: Grant Grover

Art Robot: Belardinelli

Lettering Robot: Steve Potter

The Kloistar Run continues with part 5 and Ace continues to face trials as he has been mistaken for their God. In this episode, he is pursued by some stabby wee fellas who end up stabbing one another after tripping over Jago Kain in a hilarious display of botched sacrifice but Ace isn’t out of the woods yet as his next trial is to face off against a dragon!

Prog 283 sacrificed to the Great God Garpo! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 284.

Florix Grabundae!
