The Forgotten 2000 AD Serials

Post by omega_override »

In it's 40 plus years of *SQUEE*-kicking, 2000 AD has churned out a lot of comic serials, some of them even helping launch careers of some now very well known writers and artists respectively. Going through my rather huge stockpile of old progs from the 90's, there's a wealth of fairly promising ones that just didn't make the cut like Shaky Kane's "Soul Gun" and Pat Mill's "Finn" (which got cancelled simply because it was making Mill's other serial Slaine' look bad by comparison)

Anywho, just thought it would be an interesting idea worth talking about.....

Brigand Doom. I loved this dystopian-future not-quite superhero series. In hindsight there are vague shades of V For Vendetta, but overall I wish it was reprinted.

Bix Barton: I may not be a fan of Peter Milligan's VEI work, but I loved Bix Barton.

In which issues did Brigand Doom appear?
Valiant is the son of the New Universe.

Prog is shorthand for Programme, like the ones you used to get at Operas and movie theaters and the like
