After finally doing the right thing and releasing Judge Dredd's adventures in chronological order, 2000AD are now using the format for some of it's other quality strips. If any of the other classic 2K characters deserves the treatment it would be Strontium Dog so this collection(including the original Starlord episodes)is very welcome. The strips have also aged considerably better than the very early Dredd strips, the storylines having a grittier feel and the mutant persecution angle gives the ongoing scrapes of Johnny Alpha a humanity that Dredd lacks. It's a massive volume, and another area it benefits over the Dredd Case Files is in the continuity of the artwork. For the most part this is Carlos Ezquerra's show, and all the better for it, his iconic depiction of Alpha and chums being among his best work. When the occasional fill-in artist takes centre stage the blow is softened by the quality of the artists chosen(Ian Gibson in particular does a great job). The stories are great, with the exception of the bonus strips taken from old annuals, but it seems wrong to criticize the bonus material and if anything comletists will be glad they were included. Roll on book 2.

I saw this book in a shop in town and had to buy it right there and then. I was so deeply submerged in it that I missed my stop on the bus and had to walk two miles back down the road to get home. It was worth it.
The artwork is great, the stories are better. If I happen to be involved in the great war to end all wars, if by some miracle I survive, and by chance become mutated, possibly to the degree where normal people hate me and by coincidence I get offered a job as a bounty hunter, I promise I will never, ever smile.
Johnny Alpha is a mean, cold, heartless killer with heart. He NEVER smiles. His partner, Wulf Sternhammer is a norse maniac with a sledgehammer. And then theres the Gronk, an annoying, whiny, pathetic, fluffy gimp of a creature who just gets in the way. The greatest graphic anti-hero ever thought up.
And y'know what? compared to some 2000ad characters, even the Gronk could fill you with 'dredd'

As any loyal Strontium Dog reader knows, Strontium Dog was first written for the 2000AD spin-off comic Starlord. Contrary to what the Amazon site seems to indicate it DOES contain early Starlord episodes as well as the early 2000AD ones.
Now if only this was published as a hardback, it would be perfect. Sadly it's paperback and so it's going to get battered after only a few readings. I hope one day the powers that be will release a hardback version that will stand up to the heavy use I expect to subject it to.
