Absolutely superb issue and my second jumping on issue after I started collecting with Prog 1900. I'm currently reading a huge book called The Best of 2000AD which includes the first few opening chapters of classics such as Slaine and Strontium Dog so it's exciting to be reading new adventures with them. I was surprised upon starting the book that Savage (whose latest story concluded only last week) was right there in Prog 1 too! Such a rich history to get stuck into.
ReplyDeleteYes there's been a lot of excellent material in 2000AD over the years Phil. One of the intersting things about Savage is that Pat Mills is now tying it into the same universe as his Ro-Busters / ABC Warriors strips and Nemesis the Warlock. Quite unusual for a UK comic to do that.
ReplyDeleteWell this is three-fifths of my perfect line-up. If it had Rogue and Nemesis instead of Grey Area and Orlok, that would be the ultimate prog for me! I don't think it has ever happened? Anyone know?
ReplyDeleteNot sure. I've been reading it since day one but I've only kept the first 200 issues. (I have the early Nemesis strips in book form though.)
