MiniMasterpieces - The Trooper

Description

Some of the youngsters over here probably won't know who this blue gentleman is, but if you're a hardcore Sci-Fi comics fan or some european blood flows through your veins, you'll smile at this.

This is Rogue Trooper (look it up here [link] ), from the marvelous pages of UK publisher 2000AD and even though I was too young to have actually read the strip when it came out, as a proper nerd and comics gentleman, I devoured them when I started to consider this illustration thing seriously.
Rogue embodies, to me, what makes comics fun. A good hero, a good plot and some hardcore Sci-Fi, written by some of the best and drawn by the great, without asking itself too many questions or taking itself too seriously; and, at the same time, putting the best of the best in its making. The pages of 2000AD and Rogue Trooper had a lot of that fun, flavour and talent that made the medium awesome. To me, at least.

I hope you enjoy this humble tribute if you remember who this chap is, or that you are curious to know him if it's your first time hearing about him. You won't be dissapointed if you find an old magazine containing his tales ;)

PS.. I have to thank the client who commissioned this piece, too, because of him I revisited some very old memories I had lying around my head, heh...
