It’s Crime Time AGAIN! Also it’s the twenty-ninth in our series of Space Spinner 2000 collections! These collections have all of our coverage for a specific character or storyline, all in one place. They’re a great accompaniment to reading collected versions of 2000AD, or to just hear your favorite thrill all in one place.
Stop the World, I wanna get on! Harry 20 comes right at the dawn of what we here at Space Spinner chart as the golden age of 2000, roughly from 1982 to 1986. It’s a story of a man unjustly sent to space prison, the people he meets there, and his attempts to escape. It’s a decent sized tale at 21 progs, but is often one Fox and I refer to as an example of a great one-off thrill. Something that shows up, has a story to tell, and then leaves, without trying to become a regular feature or set up a sequel or anything like that. Some of that might be due to the famously difficult time the notorious GFD had with 2000AD editors, but I always have a place in my heart for this kind of thing. Plus to my mind it has one of the greatest twists in 2000AD history, and I say this as the podcast enters 1989 and 90, which are a very twisty era for 2000AD indeed!
