Water?  Don't touch the stuff.  Nothing but shampagne and clean-o-spray man for me!

2000AD Prog 202: No more muties! Portrait of a Mutant!

Reagan's first appearance in the prog?

2000AD Prog 203: "Aeee! It's the thing we saw on TV... the freak that can't be killed!"

Pug Ugly makes an appearance!  Now where is that mp3?

The run being covered at the minute is still slightly before I was a regular reader, but these issues - and Prog 203's Dredd strip, with its focus on music, in particular - always makes me think of Dangerous. There's something about the overblown, ridiculous, wonderful strips and the extreme silliness of the song which simply works.

2000AD Prog 204: King of the Streets!

The call goes out to readers - suggest and design your own street football team (but it has to be your home town).

2000AD Prog 205: "Outta the way, gorps... Pole-Axe is coming through!"

Liana goes for a swim.  Bad things happen whenever Liana goes for a swim.

Never twigged that was a Gibbons cover - always looked 100% Massimo to me!

There's an mp3 of the Pug Ugly song somewhere - no idea what the genesis of its creation is though...

Apart from the odd Robo-Tale, he seems to be concentrating on covers (either front or back) at the moment...

I know it's still 6 months out at this point, but could he be developing/stockpiling Rogue Trooper in this period?  If ever a strip hit the ground/fused-quartz-hellscape running, that was it.

[sheridan]

I don't know why, but when I think of "what's Dave Gibbons getting up to at this point" I always forget Rogue Trooper - possibly his most iconic contribution to comics (other than Watchmen, naturally)!

2000AD Prog 206: Un-American Graffiti – Judge Dredd mounts a clean-up campaign... inside!

New prog, new characters - and this one has parents who head eggs into buckets and clean dishes.  Then dirty the dishes.  Then clean the dishes...

Something else to add to the list of Things I Must Find.

The prog where Deputy Chief Judge Pepper grows his leg back!

It's a Logan situation.
