You're right - it works because it doesn't solve the problem (or indeed even create the original problem.)

The Moses Incident is qite possibly my favourite Stront tale of all

It is certainly a classic, although post-spacespinner2000 I will never be able to forget the potential note "Gone to see space wizard. IOU one dead kid"

"A fun read that draws on a lot of familiar influences to create something pretty unique."

Rogue Trooper: Volume One is up on the blog.

We step back in time a bit to take a look at the weird Venn diagram of talking animals, fantasy quests and manly 1980s action heroes in Meltdown Man - up on the blog now!

I love Ace Garp - I think the 'get rich quick' schemer is a very under-utilised archetype in 2000AD. 'Hell's Pocket' is presumably absent due to being drawn by Ian Gibson - he's obviously a great artist, but I don't feel the series works with anyone other than Belardinelli in the jockbox. As for Ace's scarf - it's alive, all right. In fact, its status leads eventually to a rather touching pay-off.

He's definitely a stand-out character at this point in time for 2000 AD. Now I'm in suspense about the scarf!

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

Yup, it's time for another round of robot-detective shenanigans with Sam Slade, Hoagey and Stogie in Robo-Hunter: Volume Two.

If there could only be one artist-focused Dredd Volume in the Ultimate Collection, it was always going to be Carlos Ezquerra.
