I am The Mighty Tharg, supreme channeller of Thrill-power via the gift of the Galaxy’s Greatest! Time once again, my Squaxx, to engage imaginations and take a trip into my zarjaz universes.
A brand-new case for Judge Dredd starts this week, courtesy of Ken Niemand and former Sláine artist Leonardo Manco, as ‘Succession’ sees corporate bloodletting reach typically Mega-City maniacal levels (it’s forty-six years, of course, since JD made his ghafflebette debut in Prog 2 and go on to become the UK’s most important comics character).
Elsewhere, Joe Pineapples and Ro-Jaws are falling through space in the penultimate part of ‘Tin Man’, Cyd makes a pilgrimage to question the Truth Trumpet of Celestial Knowledge in The Out, Midnight Indicating Shame leads her rebellion in Proteus Vex, and The Order crash through the chrono-streams!
