2000ad: Return to Armageddon

I have fond memories of this story.

Sci-fi horror. Space pirates. Biblical trappings. A robot sidekick with his own agenda. A larger-than-life baddie with a nice line in creative deaths and disfigurements. An immortal hero who went from a tousle-haired pin-up boy to a mutilated "freak that can't be killed". And, since Redondo was on art duties, a heroine with fabulous hair and cheekbones.

Exactly the sort of thing that kept the thrill-suckers at bay when I was a young chap.

That Rebellion is soon to be reprinting it after 30 years is proof of the existence of God as far as I am concerned.
