Joe Pineapples

Joe Pineapples is a deadly, sharpshooting robot member of the ABC Warriors, a squad of war robots who served in the Volgan War. First appearing in 2000 AD in 1979, he is renowned across the galaxy as a near-infallible sniper.

Few characters from the British comics explosion of the late 1970s have shown the staying power of Joe Pineapples, who made his Bronze Age debut in the pages of 2000 AD and Starlord #119 in 1979, brought to life by John Howard and Ron Smith. Over an extraordinary 44-year run across 2000 AD, he's racked up 166 catalogued appearances and seven key issues that any serious collector will want to track down. Along the way he's shared the page with some of the most iconic figures in British comics — Mongrol, Blackblood, Deadlock, Mek-Quake, and even Joe Dredd himself — a murderers' row of 2000 AD heavyweights that speaks to just how central Joe Pineapples is to that universe. If you're diving into the rich, anarchic world of Rebellion's flagship anthology, this is one name you'll keep coming back to.
