Coming up today (Friday), we introduce the world of science fiction fantasy, ultra-violence, Dinosaurs and a reinvigorated super hero from the past. Yes folks, it’s the beginning of 1977 (February) and 2000AD was launched. I missed the first edition (Prog 1) but from the second one onwards for nearly 4 years I religiously bought and stored every copy (I only stopped when my collection was destroyed in a fire). Judge Dredd, who would cruse around on his monster machine motorbike all dressed in black, dishing out law enforcement in his futuristic Mega City of Judge, Jury and when necessary, Executioner. Battling giant killer robots in Call Me Kenneth and creatures from another dimension where life is outlawed in Dark Justice featuring Judge Death and his fellow dark Judges (Based on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse). There was Dan Dare, reborn from his early days in the 60’s comic Eagle fighting alien space creatures in orbit around Jupiter, then being sent to the outer reaches of the galaxy, with a crew of desperate prisoners, to fight aliens and bring peace (we come in peace…shoot to kill) to the wild and dangerous outer worlds. Finally we have the dinosaurs of Flesh being farmed for their meat, destined for the hungry world of the 23rd century. Herded up by cowboy ranchers, slaughtered and delivered to the future population via time-travel, one massive female T-Rex named ‘Old One Eye’ takes the fight back to the cowboys slaughtering and eating her way through their ranks. Obviously this is the real reason why the dinosaurs became extinct…the asteroid is just a cover story.
