Lenny Zero was tired of life as an undercover Judge, and wanted to flee Mega-City One with the woman he loved. But she proved to be Judge Kramer of the S.J.S. and sentenced him to life on Titan.

Alan Moore is perhaps today's most widely respected comic book writer, having produced such modern classics as "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", "V for Vendetta", and "Swamp Thing". Not many people will realise, though, that much of Moore's early work was done for Britain's award winning comic 2000 AD. Now, from the galaxy's greatest comic comes a treasury of early stories from one of the very bust writers in the business.

Script: Rob Williams
Artist: Boo Cook,
IT’S THE YEAR 2378 AND, FOLLOWING COUNTLESS WARS AND ACTS OF TERRORISM, EARTH’S NATIONS HAVE SEALED THEMSELVES BENEATH HUGE DOMES. For any aliens seeking refuge, they must be processed on a holding station tethered above the planet and run by an organisation known as The Church. Off-worlders seeking to enter Earth illegally are tracked down by Alien Hunters such as Marshall Holt, whose half-breed nature means he is psychically attuned to his quarries. But while Holt battles the insurgents, he must also battle prejudice from his own kind, revealing a plan almost too terrible to imagine!

Written by Rob Williams (Low Life, Star Wars: Rebellion) with art by Boo Cook (Harry Kipling) this provocative story is 2000 AD at its very best!

The year is 2531 AD and the Solar System is engaged in a vicious war against the alien 'Geeks.' Steve Smith is a raw recruit, fresh out of training and ready for action, assigned to a space patrol ship crewed by the V.C.s (or Vacuum Cleaners). But Smith is a liitle out of place, as he is the only Earth-born crew member and, as the war grows in intensity, Smith finds himself struggling for acceptance.



One of the earliest 'future war' series from 2000 AD and still, rightly, regarded as one of the best, written by Gerry Finley-Day, with some very distinctive art (check those spacesuits and ship designs) by Mike McMahon, Cam Kennedy, Garry Leach and John Richardon. "Geeeeee!" I'm having one of these for my shelves.
