The Doc Quince Case

[Dark Jimbo]

I love The Doc Quince Case, but The Bad Boys Bust takes this one. The first complete Strontium Dog story I ever read, and boy howdy did it grab my attention! Bubo is a great antagonist, and his cannibalism makes him genuinely creepy. Then you've got our first morks, a thrilling train heist/crash, and some great humour. Bubo win, sap!

hahaha the title says 'Big Boys Bust' - was this post for another forum / publication? hahahaha!
Big Boys Bust, er, Bad Boys Bust for me.

[Trooper McFad]

The Doc Quince case for me

[Magnetica]

Doc Quince

[Dog Deever]

Bad Boys Bust for me.

Like Dark Jimbo, this Bad Boys Bust was my first taste of Stront, and it tasted good.
Bad Boys Bust all the way!

The Bad Boys Bust

Bubo and the howler's are surprisingly harsh/freaky and memorable villains. And Wulf comes through for Johnny big time.

My first ever stront!  Bad Boys Bust

Not many votes in this one so anyone who hasn't voted yet and gets the chance today could impact on the final result. Closing in the morning.

For me I love both these stories, very much but at the end if the day you don't get villains as well designed and fearsome as Bubo and so on that basis:

The Big Boys Bust

[Barrington Boots]

I missed this one.

Re-read the Doc Quince Case after the last round and it's loads better than I remember it, but I can't vote against The Bad Boys Bust. Bubo is great / horrible, classic SD in my mind.

I missed this one.

Nah ya haven't that was just my call for more votes - doesn't close until the morning (Saturday) that is...

VOTING CLOSED

Ohhh I don't know this one was interesting. Doc Quince got out the blocks strong and seemed to have this with the early voting BUT then the Big Boys showed their dogged strength and powered through to take a confident lead and there was no coming back for Quince and so the winner:

The Big Boys Bust
