![]() ![]() It’s a tale of two halves and three parts, brilliantly interwoven by Wagner and Grant, who guide us through just another crazy Mega-City One happening as the Blocks go to war, through the introduction of a East-Meg One plot through the Sov assassin and spy Orlok, all the way through to the nuclear devastation and all-out war of The Apocalypse War. And that’s a feeling that continues right to this day. But whichever it was, I can still remember being absolutely amazed by the sheer unbelievable scale of the thing. ![]() It was actually seeing either the Eagle Comics reprints (with all those gorgeous Brian Bolland covers) or the Titan Books reprints of the saga once I’d started working at Nostalgia & Comics, Birmingham, from the age of 16. ![]() No, I was still a mere 12-year-old at the time, just getting into Marvel super-types at the time. ![]() Not when it first appeared, either with the essential prequel, ‘Block Mania’, or with ‘The Apocalypse War’ proper that kicked off 1982 in such fine style. I have to say, ‘The Apocalypse War’ was the thing that got me into Dredd and 2000 AD. ![]()
