Credo! It’s the sixteenth in our series of Space Spinner 2000 collections! These collections have all of our coverage for a specific character or storyline, all in one place. They’re a great accompaniment to reading collected versions of 2000AD, or to just hear your favorite thrill all in one place.

I’ve sort of been dreading doing this collection because early Nemesis is some of my favorite 2000AD stuff ever, and it’s hard to organize my thoughts without completely gushing over everything. This is the classic tale of a demonic and draconic alien fighting against the evil forces of humanity in a far future highway system. The story is fun, the art is amazing, Nemesis is the greatest! This episode covers the first part of either the Nemesis Complete Collection volume one or the full color Deviant Edition.

No Surrender! It’s the fifteenth in our series of Space Spinner 2000 collections! These collections have all of our coverage for a specific character or storyline, all in one place. They’re a great accompaniment to reading collected versions of 2000AD, or to just hear your favorite thrill all in one place.

We last talked about Strontium Dog in our 9th collection, when we covered the Journey to hell storyline. We’re now 81 progs in the future and Johnny and Wulf have been working steadily. They’ve time traveled to collect a bounty on Hitler, won millions for Milton Keynes in space poker, and fought evil man-eating space baboon Bad Bob. Now it’s finally time to learn more about Britain’s future and Johnny Alpha’s past in the classic story Portrait of a Mutant! It’s one of the most important Strontium Dog stories, and possibly all of 2000AD! You can find this amazing tale at the 2000AD webstore, or wherever books are sold.
