2000 AD and Starlord #102

Prog 102 of 2000 AD and Starlord hits newsstands in March 1979 with a wonderfully chaotic cover by Ian Gibson, depicting a hulking, bare-chested giant of a kid clutching a sword and snarling "What's the big idea, creep? Your players are cheating!" — all while a scowling tough-guy face looms large in the background and a red-suited figure, a battered robot, and assorted sci-fi street chaos fill the foreground. The cover teases a "Play Robo-Polo with Rogue Trooper" promotion alongside the promise of Part Three of a Judge Dredd poster tucked inside. With Brian Bolland on art for the interior story "The Day the Law Died, Part 14: Fergee's Palace!", this is a satisfying slice of late-'70s British comics at their most inventive.
