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!

Merry new year! Welcome to 2025. Let’s hope it’s better than the last four shite ones, eh?

Without further ado…

Welcome to Prog 360 featuring ‘Tharg’s Future-Shocks‘, ‘Strontium Dog‘, ‘Sláine‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 17 March 1984.

Cover Art Robot: Brett Ewins

A Psi Judge looks set to be tangoed or possibly even fingered by a detached, spooky hand on this weeks cover!

My pick of the Prog is: Judge Dredd

Script Robot: T B Grover

Art Robot: Brett Ewins

Lettering Robot: T Frame

The Haunting of Sector House 9 continues and looks at the glorious coloured artwork on the opening two pages. It makes me think of the old Eerie comics and other horror anthologies as well as Creepshow (another favourite of mine). Determined to get to the bottom of what’s going on in this Sector House, Dredd has called upon a Psi Judge to try and make contact with whoever is tormenting the place but things go awry from the start. There’s some truly graphic and possibly even disturbing panels to follow but the artwork is spooktacularly brilliant and the wall of mouths is quite chilling… But who or what is doing all of this?

 

Prog 360 gets slapped about a bit! Join me on the next one to see who/what grabs the pick of Prog 361.

Florix Grabundae!
