Collection 22 – Rogue Trooper Volume 1 Part 2

Nain! It’s the twenty-second 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.

Start digging some holes, because Rogue Trooper is on the warpath! This section sees Rogue moving away from the short, single or double prog stories of the early days to longer and more far-reaching tales. We’re also seeing the creative team solidify a bit, generally stories are bing tag teamed by Cam Kennedy and Colin Wilson, with Brett Ewins dodging in every now and then. This also where the pursuit of the Traitor General becomes Rogue’s paramount goal, when he isn’t distracted by a side-quest or temporary threat. We’ll also meet the first of a long-running Rogue Trooper trope, the treacherous femme fatale! Find this thrill at the 2000AD webstore, or wherever books are sold.

Collection 21 – D.R. & Quinch

Mind the oranges! It’s the twenty-first 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.

The middle child in Alan Moore’s 2000AD tales of space teenagers DR & Quich began their lives as one-off characters in a silly future shock that gave way to a recurring series. He’d done this previously with Abelard Snazz, the genius with the double-decker head. But while those stories had usually been single issue adventures with DR & Quinch Moore and Davis were able to spread out and tell extensive tales, usually while playing with tropes of established stories. Whether it’s dating, going to war, or getting a movie made, DR & Quinch bring an anarchic style and dash of ultra violence to everything they do! Find this thrill at the 2000AD webstore, or wherever books are sold.
