 ROBO-HUNTER:
VERDUS TP
Written by John Wagner
Art by Ian Gibson & José Luis Ferrer
Cover by Gibson
2000 A.D. Sam
Slade used to be one of the best robo-hunters in the business. But
he's getting old, and old means slow — which means dead!
That is, until
Sam takes on the biggest case of his life. Verdus was a paradise
planet. And while colonists made their long journey there, a self-replicating
robot was sent out to prepare the planet. Since the humans arrived,
all contact with the colony has been lost.
But the lightspeed
journey to Verdus has been sabotaged, and relativistic effects have
made Slade a much younger man. Now his trouble's just starting in
this classic adventure by John Wagner (Judge Dredd), Ian
Gibson (Halo Jones) & José Luis Ferrer (Ant
Wars)!

ignores women.
