Collection 15 – Portrait of a Mutant

No Surrender! It’s the fifteenth 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.

We last talked about Strontium Dog in our 9th collection, when we covered the Journey to hell storyline. We’re now 81 progs in the future and Johnny and Wulf have been working steadily. They’ve time traveled to collect a bounty on Hitler, won millions for Milton Keynes in space poker, and fought evil man-eating space baboon Bad Bob. Now it’s finally time to learn more about Britain’s future and Johnny Alpha’s past in the classic story Portrait of a Mutant! It’s one of the most important Strontium Dog stories, and possibly all of 2000AD! You can find this amazing tale at the 2000AD webstore, or wherever books are sold.

Collection 14 – Return to Armageddon

The end is here! It’s the fourteenth 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.

We’ve all found ourselves in fairly generic sci-fi settings, exploring new life and new civilizations and all that. But what happens if instead of finding more dudes with weird ears and foreheads you found a planet covered in ice, with dead people and literal demons frozen in the glaciers? What if your story about the machinations of space pirates suddenly runs afoul of zombies and demonic babies? What if your story about being the handsome chosen one in a battle of galactic fate gets sidetracked, and instead you find yourself irreparable scarred and wishing for a death that cannot come, your only compassion an anti-social robot that is actually pretty cool with helping other robots kill all humans? All this and more make Return to Armageddon an amazing story! It’s certainly a minor early 2000AD thrill, but if you listen tour giddiness about it, I think you’ll see why it’s a Space Spinner classic! You can find this two thirds great story at the 2000AD webstore, or wherever books are sold.
