The War Machine (Rogue Trooper)

Written by Dave Gibbons (superstar artist of The Watchmen, Marha Washington) tells the story of genetically enhanced super-soldier Friday. Artist Will Simpson provides the fully painted art.

FIGHT HARD. DIE WELL

They are the best of the best. Alpha Company, 1st Genetic Infantry have been created for war. Able to survive in the harshest environments, each clone warrior knows how to obey orders. Fight hard. Die well. But as the sole survivor of a brutal massacre, Friday starts to question those who have made him this way, making an uncontrollable war machine the most dangerous creature in the galaxy!

Written by Dave Gibbons (The Watchmen, Green Lantern) and featuring the beautiful painted artwork of Will Simpson (Vamps, Hellblazer), this gritty future war tale reimagines the classic 2000 AD strip Rogue Trooper in the way Gibbons had always wanted the story to be told.

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, Ro-Busters, Future Shocks and Time Twisters. 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.

Will Simpson is the co-creator of Universal Soldier, and has also illustrated Judge Dredd, Future Shocks, Psi-Judge Anderson, Tyranny Rex and Witchworld. Simpson’s work beyond 2000 AD includes Aliens, Animal Man, Batman, Hellblazer, and his co-created Vamps series at DC/Vertigo.
