2000 AD #880

Prog 880 of 2000 AD puts Rogue Trooper front and center — a snarling, blue-skinned G.I. bristling with combat gear, grenades, and a chip-studded rifle, crouching over fallen enemies and looking absolutely ready for war. The cover tagline "Blue Thunder — All Chipped-Up & Ready to Rock" sets the tone perfectly for a Rogue Trooper story titled "Under Siege," with Chris Weston's linework delivering a muscular, intense portrait that grabs you from the shelf. Alongside Judge Dredd and the rest of the weekly lineup, this March 1994 prog is a fine snapshot of British comics firing on all cylinders.
