Our friends at IDW have provided us with an exclusive preview of the “Rogue Trooper Classics” #2, which comes out on June 11th. This series reprints the classic 2000AD strip, in color for the first time, with new covers by John McCrea. For those that aren’t long-time 2000AD fans, Rogue Trooper is one of the signature characters, and this series is reprinting some of the first strips featuring him.

Rogue Trooper Classics #2 (of 12)

Clone war! Nu-Earth, a planet ravaged by war, its atmosphere poisoned by chemical weapons. In this battle-scarred landscape, the Norts and Southers fight where only the Genetic Infantrymen can survive unaided. Rogue is one such soldier, and these are his tales… Created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), this series features the earliest stories surrounding one of 2000 AD’s best-loved characters, all in color for the very first time!
