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…

Cry of the Werewolf part 3 shows us a phenomenal depiction of the transformation of Darlene O’Smith as she takes her newfound lycanthrope form. I couldn’t help but hear the stretching of tissue and cracking of bones as she took werewolf form through the wordless panels. The level of detail from Dillon is astounding. Dredd is barely in this as he shows up on the last page with his ominous wisdom signposting things to come…

 

Prog 324 barks at the moon! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 325.

Florix Grabundae!
