From the pages of A.B.C. Warriors comes a standalone new story featuring the return of iconic 2000 AD creators Pat Mills, Simon Bisley and Clint Langley!
Stranded for millions of years on an asteroid is hard work – especially when you only have a sewage droid for company! Joe Pineapples, the hotshot robotic sniper who never misses and former member of the A.B.C. Warriors – a team of war robots sent to first conquer and then protect Mars – looks back over his life as he seeks to unravel the mystery and the meaning behind an I.D. plate that he has carried around since his days as an X-terminator fighting in the Volgan War.
This brand-new stand-alone A.B.C. Warriors story marks the return of Simon Bisley (Lobo, Batman/Dredd: Judgement on Gotham) to the characters for the first time with 1988’s classic Black Hole story, which kickstarted his comic career, but now in glorious painted colour reminiscent of Bisley’s own work on Slaine: The Horned God. Clint Langley, who has drawn A.B.C. Warriors stories for the last 15 years, completes this final tale of Joe Pineapples in his own unique style.
This is unpredictable and elegiac finale for one of 2000 AD’s most enduring characters, as told by the wildcard creative talents who changed the face of 2000 AD forever! Get your copy of Joe Pineapples: Tin Man in paperback or webshop-exclusive hardcover today!
