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 306 featuring ‘Time Twisters‘, ‘Harry Twenty on the High Rock‘, ‘Robo-Hunter‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 5 March 1983.

Cover Art Robot: Ian Gibson

Slade slays on this weeks cover as the sing-song travesty continues.

My pick of the Prog is: Judge Dredd

Script Robot: TB Grover

Art Robot: Steve Dillon

Lettering Robot: T Frame

After being injured by the alien bounty hunter Trapper Hag, Judge Dredd displays classic behaviour as he refuses to rest and insists on dealing with this case. Another display of the Chief Judge holding zero authority over Dredd. The plan this time is for Dredd to go to the recently located ship of Trapper Hag and lie in wait for his return when his guard is down and he will be vulnerable for capture. But Dredd hadn’t anticipated what would be aboard the vessel…

 

Prog 306 finds itself on th run from a bounty hunter! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 307.
