In 2210, raw recruit Danny Franks joined the rag-tag guerrilla platoon known as Bad Company. They were led by the psychopathic Kano, whose brain had been experimented on by the evil alien Krool. The war ended when Danny became the Krool Heart, the guiding consciousness of the Krool Empire. Now tortured by guilt over what became of Danny, Kano is hoping to find peace at least – by destroying the monster he helped create… Bad Company still ranks as one of the all time best future-war stories in any medium in my book, gritty, twisted and vicious and about as far from the Boy’s Own Adventure type war tales of older comics and is cited by top SF and comics author Richard Morgan as one of the influences for his award-winning Takeshi Kovacs character (last seen in Woken Furies).

Peter Milligan is one of 2000 AD’s most prolific story creators and is the acclaimed creator of Bad Company, Enigma and Skreemer. He is currently writing X-Statix for Marvel Comics and for TV projects. Since his Future Shock debut in Prog 37, Brett Ewins has been one of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’s most beloved artists. Amongst others Ewins has contributed to Judge Dredd, ABC Warriors and Rogue Trooper. Jim McCarthy is the co-creator of Bix Barton, The Grudgefather, and Kid Cyborg for 2000 AD, but is perhaps best known for his work inking the classic Bad Company.
