2000AD Prog 442: Sam Slade: Robohunted! “Shoot heem op!” “Yup!” “Yup!” “Yup!” “Yup!” Blat! Blat! Blat! Blat! Blat!

Slade takes to the water, Rogue warns of fireworks, Satanus produces fireworks (oh, and we get to see the face of the character voted best villain at the Eagle Awards), a Mega-vigilante for Mega-City One, the ultimate weapon and Bad Jack has a flashback.

2000AD Prog 242: Subject: Orlock Status: assassin Mission: destroy Mega-City One! Block Mania

On the front cover, Brian Bolland introduces us to Orlock the Assassin. The Nerve Centre has a letter from 'Wakefied' - I wonder if that's Wakefield Carter, who was behind the 2000AD Meeples a few years back? A different Earthlet tells Squaxx about Orkney Ba' - a game not dissimilar to Street Football played on …

The Nerve Centre has a reader-submitted short story which …

Prog 75: Have you the nerve to play the Cursed Earth game?

The cover is Dredd looming over the boardgame that starts this prog and looks like it was provided by an art editor (and is sort of an amalgam of Bolland, Gibbons and McMahon's styles). The 2000AD Nerve Centre has no letters and is also cut down to half a page by an advert. At least …

Prog 74: Flesh

Last prog I was surprised that Old One Eye hadn't actually been mentioned, but the presence of the Flesh logo in the bottom right corner of this McMahon cover bodes well. The 'Tharg Data Nerve Centre' lets us know that in honour of next week's 75th prog we're going to get a multi-part boardgame based …
