Darkie's Mob is being reissued as a hardcover by Titan this month!
This was an old John Wagner (who is fantastic) strip which was printed in the seventies in Battle. It later became the basis for BAD Company in 2000ad. I've got no idea where the um... questionable name came from.
160 pages, I don't know if that's the entire series... I never got through all of them, but they were very, very fun. I'm certainly going to buy this.
>>2771 Slight tangent but Bad Company was one of the best strips in 2000AD's history. I'd put it in the top 3 (with Zenith and Nemesis, if anyone cares).
>>2773 If you're talking about Bad company, I highly recommend following it all the way through to Kano's own story. It was pure classic from start to finish. If you're not, never mind.
>>2771 I'm a black guy, and (-PLEASE KEEP READING-) I used to work with a guy who was about 15 years my senior. I used to buy 2000ad from time to time, and so did he. One time he asked me if I ever read this, at the time I had no idea what he was on about when he was talking about "Darkies Mob" or the "chidits" not liking it "up em".
A year or two later i think 2000ad or the Judge Dredd megazine ran a reprint of one of their campaigns, it was one of the most enjoyable comics I've read.
