Round 3 heads towards its conclusion and things aren't getting any easier. It's time to start thinking about how hard Round 4 is gonna be cos lets face it as we near having just 64 thrills left we know they are all (well almost all) gonna be beauties and the tough ties we see this week will be the regular head scratchers in a couple of weeks time. Arh remember how easy Round 2 was!

I think it's fair to say Sancho Panzer isn't one of the stronger thrills in Round 3, so far only having to deal with Venus Bluegenes, a great co-star in some dodgy solo material. So has its luck ended in coming up against a Prog Oner? Or will M.A.C.H.1's easy racism count against it? It didn't against Marauder that's for sure.

I am not a big fan of the M.A.C.H series of stories and I have never read Sancho Panzer so this round I will vote for Let The Good Times Roll
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.

Dan Abnett writing! Gorgeous full colour Henry Flint art! A strip that has somehow never been reprinted? Having commissioned it, let there be no surprise that this is a vote for Sancho Panzer.

I got no nostalgia or especial fondness for MACH 1. I like the ongoing thread where he hates his computer and his boss, but apart from the ultraviolence the strip never did much for me.

Sancho Panzer is far from Abnett's or Flint's best work but you can bet if they tried it again now, with decades more experience, it'd be a superior beast. And it's more weird than MACH 1 which is enough to get my vote...

MACH 1 does nothing for me. Early era 2000 AD that's presumably nostalgic for some, but I don't have the nostalgia. Today, it's a turgid, boring read.

Sancho Panzer wasn't great either, but has some flair and lovely early Flint art. Neither really deserves to go further, but it is what it is, so: Sancho Panzer.

MACH1. Ok it's not that great, but a memorable early classic. I vaguely recall SP being ok, but not much else.
