The first of a new series in the Essential line featuring 2000 AD’s legendary war machine, Rogue Trooper!
Rogue Trooper is the last of the G.I.s – genetically-engineered infantrymen designed to withstand the noxious atmosphere of Nu-Earth, a planet ravaged by the conflict between Norts and Southers. The lone survivor of the Quartz Zone Massacre, equipped with the bio-chips of his fallen clone brothers, he crosses the war-torn landscape in search of the Traitor General, the man responsible for their deaths – and he will not rest until he has his revenge!
The first volume in the Essential series features stories by creators Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), with art by Colin Wilson (Judge Dredd), Cam Kennedy (Star Wars: Dark Empire), and Brett Ewins (Bad Company, Skreemer).

Gerry Finley-Day
One of the most prolific writers in the comic’s history, Gerry
Finley-Day holds a special place in many 2000 AD fans’ hearts as
the creator of classics like Rogue Trooper, Fiends of the Eastern
Front and The V.C.s, as well as Harry 20 on the High Rock and Ant
Wars.
A keen “ideas man”, Finley-Day’s concepts of the horrors future
warfare had in store were key to both Rogue and The V.C.s’
continuing popularity, ensuring that their recent return to the
Galaxy’s Greatest Comic was well-received.
Finley-Day also scripted episodes of Judge Dredd and Dan Dare, and
co-scripted much of Invasion! (and entirely scripted the prequel
story, ‘Disaster 1990!’).
Dave Gibbons
Dave Gibbons is one of 2000 AD’s most popular artists, having
co-created Harlem Heroes and Rogue Trooper. He has also pencilled
A.B.C. Warriors, Dan Dare, Judge Dredd, Mega-City One, Ro-Busters,
Tharg the Mighty, Tharg’s Future Shocks and Time Twisters, as well
as having scripted several Rogue Trooper stories – making Gibbons
one of the few 2000 AD creators to have served as writer, artist
and letterer!
Beyond 2000 AD, Gibbons is unquestionably best known for his work
on the award-winning classic Watchmen (with Alan Moore), but he has
also drawn Batman, Doctor Who, Give Me Liberty, Green Lantern,
Superman, Star Wars and his graphic novel, The Originals.
Colin Wilson
Colin Wilson has gone from iconic status at 2000 AD to European
superstardom as the artist of Moebius’ classic western, Young
Blueberry. For the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Wilson was a key early
Rogue Trooper artist. He has also pencilled Future Shocks, Judge
Dredd, Pulp Sci-Fi, Tor Cyan, as well crime series, Du Plomb Dans
La Tete (Headshot), for French publisher Casterman.
Cam Kennedy
Cam Kennedy is another hugely popular 2000 AD artist, having
illustrated many Judge Dredd strips and co-created luckless wannabe
creator Kenny Who? and the Taxidermist. A key early Rogue Trooper
artist, he has also drawn Batman/Judge Dredd: Vendetta in Gotham,
Judge Dredd, Tharg the Mighty, Tharg’s Future Shocks, and The
V.C.’s. His extracurricular work includes Axel Pressbutton, Batman,
Lobo, Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Star Wars.
