WE PLUCKY CHAPS DO S.F TOO, DON'T YOU KNOW OLD BOY

The main thrust (no pun intended) of English comic books, certainly in the 70s was to keep World War Two alive and kicking. And to remind the world in general who actually won the danm thing.

It was the American's in actual fact, if my Hollywood addled memory serves my correctly!

But that might just be a topic for another day, time or comic book cover. However, towards the end of the 70s, 1978 here, science fiction crept onto the English comic book scene, no doubt aided by the success of Star Wars.


Starlord was, in my humble opinion the better offering over 2000AD, the latter would come to dominate the field and oust all those WWII offerings in a matter of a few short years. Starlord would fold too, attempting to appeal to readers of all ages.

2000AD may have had Judge Dredd but it never has had a cover as good as this one!!!
