Hello all,
being trying for many years to locate the name of a comic that used to be published in greece to a comic magazine collection "agori".
A friends pointed out that it looks like a 2000 AD but cant upload an image as I have one. The story is, convicts made to ride bikes for covert organization, a game like rollerball with bikes, they used to go to secret missions before and after a game with modified bikes.
Any ideas? Cant seem to locate this one?
Thank you
Regards
Tedd

Remember an article in one of the 2000ad annuals which showed foreign versions of 2K? I was fascinated by Spanish 'Perro D'Estroncio' or something like that (Strontium Dog) and the French 'L'an 2000' (?).

In the pre Rebellion days, before 2000ad online was live I came across a German (I think) 2K website.

Heading above reads 'New Dredd story' but reads more like 'New Drent story' as it doesn't really work in Greek.

A couple more 2K covers including Ant Wars with an odd 'From Italy' sticker. http://www.greekcomics.gr/forums/Covers/Agori/Agori0486.jpg">

Tedd, I think the game you mentoned may be 'spinball', originally from Death Game 1999 in the British Comic 'Action'.

There's another thread that discusses it on the message board. Look up the link to 'Mean Arena', or else do a search of this website
for 'spinball', or the internet for 'Death Game 1999'.http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/Action%202.jpg">

After Action was cancelled and merged with Battle, Death Game 1999 continued for quite some interminable time - two years! - renamed "The Spinball Wars."  Dredger and Hellman were finished within the first year of the merger, but this thing, bafflingly, kept going.  And the art was horrible.

"And the art was horrible"

Really? But what about the retro-futuristic art stylings of Ron Turner? I never had a single issue of Action as a kid, but on the rare occasion that I happened across an issue at the dentist or in the school's box of comics for rainy days, it was Ron Turner's artwork that exerted a strange fascination upon me that made me wish either there was a spinball strip in 2000ad, or that there was a second sci-fi anthology comic for me to be bought each week that had spinball in it.
