Product Description
Product Description
Warped by the mutating effects of radioactice Strontium 90 fallout, many mutants have taken the only job open to them - bounty hunting. Feared and despised by the norms, these Search/Destroy Agents hunt the criminals too dangerous for the Galactic Crime Commission. One such Strontium Dog is Johnny Alpha, whose eyes emit piercing Alpha rays allowing him to see through solid objects. Together with his norm Viklink partner Wulf Sternhammer, he's a good man in a bad galaxy.

Format:Paperback
For some inane reason Amazon or Rebellion, I know not which, have failed to give this tome it's full and complete title. This volume, entitled "A Traitor To His Kind" (and like "The Kreeler Conspiracy" before it) is a collection of the 'NEW' Strontium Dog tales starring Johnny Alpha. Rather than resurect Johnny following his heart-rending bow at the end of "Search Destroy Agency Files Volume 05: The Final Solution" John Wagner simply decided to write stories set BEFORE his death. Genius. Other comics writers take note.
The first volume of the NEW S/D storys featured, as it's first storyline, a Carlos Ezquerra illustrated adaptation of the TV pilot that never got made. Changes are made and the story of Johnny and his father is retold in an alternate reality. All subsequent tales in the reboot seem to have mostly ignored most elements of this reboot continuing in the vein of the classic continuity.
If all of this sounds like a lack of recommendation it really isn't. I just thought someone ought to mention that this book ISN'T any of the things other reviewers seem to think it is. If you like the classic Strontium Dog books, you'll enjoy both "The Kreeler Conspiracy" and "A Traitor To His Kind"
