Rogue Trooper follows Rogue, a Genetic Infantryman, as he chases through the poisonous landscape of Nu-Earth on a vital mission. Genetically-engineered to survive on the war-warped surface of the planet, the blue-skinned Rogue is the last of his kind – and yet his comrades Helm, Gunnar and Bagman are always with him on his travels.
You see, after they were all killed in action during the bitter war between the Norts and Southers, Rogue’s colleagues now exist only in the form of biochips – technology which downloads a GI’s entire personality at the time of his death for later retrieval. Helm sits in his helmet, Gunnar controls his rifle, and Bagman – you guessed it – controls his backpack.
Written by Gerry Finley-Day and with stunning stunning art from Dave Gibbons, Brett Ewins, Colin Wilson and many others, Rogue Trooper’s clever genre mash-up of sci-fi and war comics made it one of the most popular stories in 2000 AD history!
This year Rogue returned to the pages of the Prog with the critically-acclaimed “Blighty’s Valley” from the creative team of Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard. For two weeks each year, Nu Earth’s orbit carries it close to a black hole known as Zvartchvintern. During those two weeks, things go a little… screwy – as Rogue Trooper experienced first-hand in this startling story, which proved there was plenty of life left in that Trooper!
Stay alert, Earthlets – the collection of Blighty Valley will be out in 2024!
