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.
