SCI-FI TO SINK YOUR TEETH INTO!
Following the Atomic War of 2150, Britain has been devastated by nuclear holocaust. The survivors rebuilt their lives, but many were warped by the mutating effects of Strontium 90 fallout. These mutants were forced to grow up in ghettos and take the only job open to them – bounty hunting.
Durham Red is one of these unfortunate beings. Ostracized by many of her kind due to her vampiric mutation, she has used her unique talents to become one of the toughest ‘Strontium Dogs’ in the universe. In this explosive introduction to the character, Durham Red teams up with fellow bounty hunter Johnny Alpha, to rescue President Ronald Reagan from a group of militant, alien terrorists!
Written by John Wagner (A History of Violence) and Alan Grant (Batman) with art by Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), Durham Red proves that the female of the species is definitely more deadly than the male!
