saw that there is a game now. member him from 2000ad. hands down coolest character ever. esp when he was reinvented as the "war is hell" post vietnam antihero. and he had his fallen comrades in his bag, gun and helmet respectively. deeeadly

 

[ICUH8N]

I agree. One of the best 2000AD strips.

 

[therealjohnny]

he had many ups and downs-The 90s werent kind to him at all- Saharan ice Belt? The Hit! mark Millar!

At his best though he was one of my favourites


The game looks pretty damn good too!

I preferred Strontium Dog, especially as drawn by Carlos Esquerra

 

[theoootini]

indeed. i seem to remember a classic 2000ad monthly that would print a whole story from one strip. there was a missionary man drawn by frank quitley. it was the mutts nuts

My favourite 2000AD strips were the one where Strontium Dog goes to hell - started just before issue 100 - and Ro-Busters - especially the end [SIZE=-1]story - The Terra-Meks.
Anyone know if any of these are available in graphic novel form?

yeah that was a deadly 2000ad comic- being that I was too forgetful to buy it every week

Indeed they are. That Hell story was fanatastic, the creepiness of Mr Sun and mr Moon, the Cuss brothers, Flys-eyes..great stuff.Theres a brilliant moment where all the little devils are dancing to madness "One Step Beyond"!

i think this book also has the Hitler story

Not sure if robusters is available-i found a dead link on amazon- though rebellion are currently re-printing a lot of the old stuff

That picture reminds me a lot of books I used to read as a young lad - David Gemmell ones about a gunslinger in an apocalyptic future or something.. I think the character was called Jon Shannow? God I used to love those books.. and that's kinda how I imagined he was. Except more fucked looking.

 

[therealjohnny]

duh..the Wierd bothers- hiss, cuss and the guy with no face..

Micahel Fleischer..

(minus some nerd points there)


I hear there were ads for this new game on Sky1 last night

We shan't mention the Judge Dredd film though shall we....

 

[therealjohnny]

"ahh noo youd say that"

Remember the Judge Dredd where they came to Ireland and all the judges had spud guns? Was that Steve Dillon who drew that? He/is another great comic artist.

 

[therealjohnny]

haha yeah- Stephens Green was reduced to one little bush called 'Kevin' which Dredd runs over on his bike

 

[Scientician 0.8]

That's the one. Ah, memories. I haven't read 2000AD in years. I wouldn't mind getting some of the Dredd Anthologies. I always liked The Cursed Earth and other mega-epics, necropolis etc.

 

[Anthony]

Drokk It!

If you try not to be precious about it, then the Dredd film is ok. In fact a couple of the scenes are pretty perfect.

 

[therealjohnny]

the opening 4 minutes or so are perfect

the rest is arse

shame
