Gobber

Gobber is a grotesque alien soldier appearing in Bad Company, the dark sci-fi war strip from 2000 AD. He fights alongside Danny Franks and a band of brutal, battle-scarred misfits surviving a savage interstellar conflict.

Bursting onto the scene in the landmark 500th issue of 2000 AD back in 1986, Gobber is a creature of the British comics revolution — born from the darkly inventive minds of Pat Mills and Glenn Fabry at the height of IPC's most audacious era. Most at home in the pages of Bad Company, this character keeps genuinely wild company alongside the likes of Danny Franks, Kano, Flytrap, Trucker, and Wallbanger — names that tell you everything about the grim, pulpy world they inhabit. With appearances spanning all the way to 2002 across 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, Gobber may have a modest catalogue footprint, but two of those issues carry genuine collector significance — and any character that Mills and Fabry launch in a milestone issue deserves a place on your radar.
