Description
IT'S A DOG EAT DOG UNIVERSE!
Following the Atomic War of 2150, a large proportion of survivors were warped by Strontium 90 fallout. Their mutated offspring were despised and mistreated by the 'norms', leading to a brutal and bloody civil war in Britain. The mutant army was eventually defeated and those left alive were forced to live as second class citizens in poverty-stricken ghettos, where bounty hunting was the only job available to them. One such Search/ Destroy agent is Johnny Alpha, who has the power to emit piercing Alpha rays from his eyes which enable him to see through solid objects and into the minds of men.
Armed with the latest hi-tech weaponry and harbouring a burning hatred for the mutie-hating father who abandoned him, Johnny has a score to settle and nobody will get in his way...
This action-packed collection features the stunning talents of writers John Wagner (Judge Dredd, A History of Violence), Alan Grant (Batman) and artists Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd, Battlefields) and Colin MacNeil (Predator: Nemesis).
