Another good collection from 200oAD.
The story is OK (Rogue soldier wanders around desolate terrain looking for revenge and redemption).
But I'm really looking at the wonderful art work.
A complete masterclass in B&W drafting, cell layout and progression and compositions.
I'd love to know how long a page took to draft from from state to finish...

2000AD may be long in our past now - but would we have as much cool sci fi to enjoy without it. Rogue Trooper was a great little story, genetic engineering, cool boys toys war machines, and several ghosts in the machine. What's wrong with feeling a little blue?
