An ad for Starlord No. 17 and the return of Strontium Dog! The strip appeared in most issues but not in No(s) 11, 16 or 20. It was normally drawn by Carlos Ezquerra but Brendan McCarthy and Ian Gibson took a turn from No(s) 17-19. Carlos returned for the last two stories in 21 and 22 and onward in to the merger with 2000AD. The image of Johnny Alpha shown here is by Carlos, from Starlord No. 6.
