Character Focus: Gloppus – The Bravest Little Gronk in the Galaxy
Some characters only appear for a brief moment, yet somehow become unforgettable.
Gloppus is one of those characters.
Character Focus: The Gronk – The Heart of Strontium Dog
Every great hero needs a sidekick. Batman has Robin, Sherlock Holmes has Watson and Johnny Alpha has... a nervous, furry alien medic with weak hearts and a habit of saying "Aaargh!"
On paper, The Gronk shouldn't work at all. He's timid, constantly terrified, physically weak and prone to suffering heart attacks at the slightest bit of excitement. He doesn't carry a weapon, he isn't a fearless warrior and he certainly isn't the sort of character you'd expect to survive for long in the dangerous universe of Strontium Dog. Yet somehow, he became one of the most beloved characters in all of 2000 AD.
Character Focus: Johnny Alpha – The Heart and Soul of Strontium Dog
There are plenty of iconic characters in British comics, but very few have the longevity, depth and sheer presence of Johnny Alpha.
As the main character of Strontium Dog, first appearing in Starlord before becoming a staple of 2000 AD, Johnny Alpha is far more than just a bounty hunter with a cool weapon and glowing eyes. He's one of the most complex and tragic heroes ever created.
