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 339 featuring ‘Nemesis the Warlock‘, ‘Strontium Dog‘, ‘Sláine‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 22 October 1983.

My pick of the Prog is: Nemesis the Warlock

Art Robot: Brother O’Neill

Lettering Robot: Brother Potter

Book III continues as the Terminators continue to besiege Castle Ydrasill. What I found particularly interesting and cool is the machines the Terminators are using such as the trebuchets that have a humanoid shape and I fid the idea of being attacked by those worse than your traditional style trebuchets. Not that they are a concern these days. Then you have the crazed looking re-purposed fire truck and… what the… Mek-Quake? “BIG JOBS” indeed. This episode is as chaotic as it is detailed and it’s beginning to look like the Terminators may prove triumphant…

 

Prog 339 gets treated like a BIG JOB! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 340.

Florix Grabundae!
