He's the genetically-engineered warrior prowling the poisoned wastelands of Nu Earth – he is the Rogue Trooper!


ST33V is joined on the latest 2000 AD: The Deep Dive by comics critic Steve Baxi to discuss Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons' classic character – the last of the GIs, who travels three of his dead comrades – Helm, Gunnar and Bagman – who personalities have been transferred into bio-chips implanted into his rifle, helmet, and backpack. Their mission: hunt down the man who betrayed them! Created in 1981, Rogue stands alone in the middle of the bitter war between the Norts and the Southers, a desperate fight for control over the battle-blasted planet orbiting a vital space wormhole.
