2000 AD #401

Prog 401 of 2000 AD (19 January 1985) heralds the return of Rogue Trooper, and Cam Kennedy's cover makes an immediate impression — the blue-skinned, mohawked G.I. looms large, clutching what appears to be a small case and declaring "Here are my boys…" while his biochip gear, including a helmet and rifle on his shoulder, waits alongside him. The speech bubble "Make them into men!" hints at something significant stirring in the world of Nu-Earth's last survivor. Gerry Finley-Day and Kennedy team up inside for "Re-Gene, Part 1: Return of a Hero?" — and this issue even comes bagged with a free Panini Dune album for UK readers.
