27th September 2023
ROBO-HUNTER: PLANET OF THE ROBOTS out now
The name’s Slade, Sam Slade! That’s S-L-A-Y-E-D to you!
John Wagner, Ian Gibson and Jose Ferrer’s Robo-Hunter is one of the all-time classic 2000 AD comic strips and now for the first time the original story, printed in colour as a five-issue mini series by Eagle Comics in the 1980s, will be available in a single collection!
For forty years, Sam Slade has been one of the best robo-tectives in the business, but all of his experience couldn’t prepare him for his latest case. In 2080 overpopulation of the Earth led the Space Commission into seeking out new planets to colonise.
Four years later they discovered Verdus, a suitable planet in the Crab Nebula. Now, Colonists who sent there have not been heard from again. The Commission believe that robots have taken control of the planet and want Sam to uncover the truth. It’s a dangerous case, but one Sam can’t refuse – otherwise he’s guaranteed a bullet in the head!
Out on 27 September, with Gibson and Ferrer’s stunning artwork, with gritty old school colour, this is a collection that’s guaranteed to slay!
