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 341 featuring ‘Nemesis the Warlock‘, ‘Strontium Dog‘, ‘Sláine‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 5 November 1983.

Cover Art Robot: Massimo Belardinelli

Don’t be fooled by this weeks cover; that’s not a woman throwing herself at Sláine in a “oh my God you’re my hero!” kinda way. No, she wants him dead.

My pick of the Prog is: Sláine

Script Robot: Pat Mills

Art Robot: M Belardinelli

Lettering Robot: Tom Frame

Sláine warp-spasms like a boss in this episode and just look at the insane level of detail for the monstrosity he becomes and then the army of the dead. Belardinelli’s work here is truly fantastic and it looks so disgustingly good! Who knew warp-spasms could be so much visual fun, eh?

 

Prog 341 does the warp-spasm again! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 342.

Florix Grabundae!
