Love it, there's more?
Not of this, one and done.
(I do have more shorts in mind though... and who knows maybe I'll end up coming back to this ...)
Nice! Thanks for posting!
So depressing and a little creepy...I love it!
PJ you should do a Future Shock. Great stuff !!!!
That is brutal in the best possible way.
Wow that's good.
I wish there were more places in the Prog for shorter pieces like this. I'd have loved to have seen that in the current issue—it's really good.

seconded!!
I enjoyed that! Maybe Tharg will publish the next one, if you show it to him first. Al Ewing did half a dozen one-page Tharg's Future Shorts a few years ago.
Fantastic!
I like that and although you want more not to do more makes it even better as I'll always wonder what is out there 😳
That was superb. More please- and yes, 2000AD needs a few one, two and three pages. I've been reading a fair amount of old uk weeklies of late, and while the smaller page count on strips obviously doesnt allow for the kind of storytelling the prog excels at, it does seem a shame to completely remove the opportunity for the kind of storytelling that Mr Holden demonstrates here can offer much.

This is great PJ. Just the sort of thing I loved about 2000ad as a kid.

A Sound of Intergalactic Thunder 1449

This is really bleak, PJ. I love it :D
Summertime on Icarus LV-426. Love it. Tharg needs to find space for this and more like it.
(Shudder) That's brilliant, that is.
Brilliant stuff, thanks PJ!
I really hope you've got a series of these 1-page shocks in the making. The Progs crying out for this kinda stuff, and looking at the list of 1-page tales already printed a few more might make for a great floppy one day!
