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 289 featuring ‘Ace Trucking‘, ‘Harry Twenty on the High Rock‘, ‘The Great Detective Caper‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 6 November 1982.
Cover Art Robot: Ron Smith
Judge Dredd is pinned down by a robo-hound on this weeks cover!
My pick of the Prog is: Ace Trucking
Script Robot: Grant Grover
Art Robot: Belardinelli
Lettering Robot: Steve Potter
I normally dislike any strips with music but this one worked really well and set the story up perfectly for another big score for Ace and co (although we’re used to things not going peachy for Ace). I loved the imagery in this and Feek showing off another new hat! It’s another entry into the silliness that is Ace Trucking!
Prog 289 becomes institutionalised! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 290.
Florix Grabundae!
