Description
In the year 2886, death-bowl is the most popular sport in the galaxy. In the history of the game, 'Bad' Jack Keller and his squad of hardened killers, known as the Mean Team, have racked up more wins than anyone else - their incentive being the promise of freedom! But team owner Richman Von is not so eager to lose his champions, So Jack, Amok the alien Beester, the robotic Steelgrip and Henry Moon - the telepath trapped inside the body of a panther, will have to escape the arena and bring their battle out into the world! Written by 2000 AD legends John Wagner (Judge Dredd), Alan Grant (Mazeworld), Alan Hebden (Meltdown Man) and including the breathtaking artwork of Massimo Belardinelli (Ace Trucking Co.), this complete collection of violent, action-packed adventure makes Rollerball look like a kiddie's tiddlywinks contest!
