Could YOU survive in the Cursed Earth?

Author: 2000 AD November 27, 2024 Duration: 34:13

Acid rain that will strip skin from bone! Killer viruses that strike without warning! Marauding bands of mutants! Herds of hungry dinosaurs! Could YOU survive the irradiated wasteland outside the walls of Mega-City One?


That's the question on the lips of the 2000 AD Thrill-Cast's Steve Morris and his special guest, Brad Gullickson from the podcast Comic Book Couples Counselling, as they discuss John Wagner, Alan Grant, José Ortiz and Horacio Lalia's THE HELLTREKKERS. They're diving into this visceral monumental survival story – one of the earliest spin-off strips from the world of Judge Dredd.
