I am The Mighty Tharg, bringer of Thrills to a planet beset by brain-sapping mundanity!
Yes, it’s that time of the week again, my Squaxx, when you get to escape everyday reality - if just for the time it takes to peruse and absorb these pulse-pounding pages - and be transported to the circuit-shattering worlds of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. Inside this ghafflebette prog, you’ll find the latest high-octane instalments of Judge Dredd, Brink, Aquila, Proteus Vex and Indigo Prime, brought to you by the fevered imaginations of my creator droids.
Chained as they are in their work-cubicles, channelling every key-tap and pencil-stroke through my office so I get to oversee the entire process and ensure that it’s all at the necessary level of zarjazosity, the whole Command Module meshes together as a finely tuned machine… staffed by machines! Many of you may be wondering, is this a utopian vision of the future I can get behind - mechanoids programmed to deliver high-intensity entertainment under the direct rule of an alien overlord, who demands nothing less than total subservience?
Well, all I can say is, it works for me - and the end result is pretty damn scrotnig!
