Created by writer Michael Fleisher and artists Steve Dillon and Kevin Walker, The New Harlem Heroes debuted in 2000AD prog 671 (and are not to be confused with the original Harlem Heroes by Tom Tully and Dave Gibbons).
Borderline psychotic and a remorseless cold-blooded killer. He worked for anyone who could afford his price. Principal clients: the mega-corps. Commissioned to carry out commando and assassinations ops against Third World Leaders attempting to leave megacorp influence or embezel drug traffic funds to own accounts. D'Altroy was betrayed into government hands by megacorp employers after the murder of two megacorp managers (who were believed to be swindling him out of operation funds). Slice was sentenced to a life-term at Subterranean Penal Colony 14.
Slice is a genius at infiltration and subversion. He has a special fondness for knives and killing at close quarters. He also has a special talent for turning any object into a lethal weapon in his hands.
The New Harlem Heroes are all criminals serving time in SPC-14, the worst subterranean penal colony on the planet. Here, beneath the dull glow of the halogen arcs, a motley horde of hardcore criminals, politcal dissidents and deviants of every description toil in the mines until they drop dead from exhaustion....
Escape is impossible, but Silver, Slice, Patrice, Trips and Deacon all think overwise - becoming the New Harlem Heroes they want out!
