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 367 featuring ‘D.R. & Quinch‘, ‘Sláine‘, ‘Rogue Trooper‘, ‘Strontium Dog‘ and ‘Judge Dredd‘, published on 5 May 1984.

Cover Art Robot: Massimo Belardinelli

Sláine weighs anchor in a battle with the Mata on this weeks cover!

My pick of the Prog is: D.R. & Quinch

Script Robot: Alan Moore

Art Robot: Alan Davis

Lettering Robot: Steve Potter

What a ride it has been with D.R. & Quinch and it ends on such a high I feel kinda sad it’s over. From opening this episode with a rip on Barry Norman and then Clive James discussing the validity of the movie to then discovering that Torquetto Jubbli is still alive and must have been in some sort of hibernation and is headed back to Hollywood with his script while, unbeknownst to him, C.B. stated that if he ever sets foot in Hollywood again, he’s a dead man. What a like, totally bonkers and fun ride, man.
