Agent Rat

Bronze Age grit and British comics attitude collide in Agent Rat, who first scurried onto the pages of 2000 AD #213 in 1981, brought to life by the legendary partnership of Alan Grant and Carlos Ezquerra — the same creative force that helped define the Dredd universe. Sharing the anarchic world of 2000 AD with icons like Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, and Chief Judge McGruder, Agent Rat occupies that gloriously rough-edged corner of British comics history where imagination ran wild and no concept was too strange to print. With appearances stretching across more than three decades into 2014, this is a character whose longevity quietly speaks for itself. A rare find with only a handful of catalogued appearances, Agent Rat is exactly the kind of cult discovery that makes digging through 2000 AD's deep back catalogue such a rewarding adventure for the dedicated collector.
