*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Although a smash success, the sci-fi adventure weekly was still finding its feet by its 100th issue, and the second hundred Progs saw the debut of several characters who would prove to be among its most enduring stars. The ABC Warriors, robots designed to withstand Atomic, Bacterial and Chemical threats, premiered in #119; #127 featured the first ‘amalgamated’ 2000 AD and Tornado, in which Blackhawk, The Mind of Wolfie Smith and Captain Klep made their way over from the cancelled title; #140 brought us the debut of the long-running alien-war strip the VC’s and the first comics adaptation of Harry Harrison’s anti-hero the Stainless Steel Rat; #150 saw the first appearance of Psi-Judge Anderson in the Judge Dredd strip, illustrated by Brian Bolland; #167 brings us the one-off Nemesis debut, “Terror Tube”, and #178 gives not only the first ongoing Nemesis strip, but also a free gift Judge Dredd badge! This entire sequence #101-200 is new in our inventory!
