Essential Rogue Trooper: Genetic Infantryman by Gerry Finley-Day

The first of a new series in the Essential line featuring 2000 ADs 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 comics 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-Days 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 Galaxys 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 ADs 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, Thargs 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 Galaxys 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, Thargs 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.
