Over the years, it has been one of the strangest features in an innovative comic, and never more so than in these introductory strips from 1979 when \u003cstrong\u003ePat Mills\u003c\/strong\u003e was fired by thoughts of a wild adventure comic about robots. That never came about, which was unfortunate for Mills, but a stroke of good fortune for 2000AD readers as he funneled his creative fervor into weird stories drawn by some fantastic artists. Where else are you going to find a 75-page collection featuring art by \u003cstrong\u003eDave Gibbons, Brendan McCarthy, Mike McMahon and Kevin O’Neill.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nThe ABC of the title stands for \"Atomic, Bacterial and Chemical,\" the types of warfare robots could supposedly withstand, and by the end of this book four more robots have fleshed out the team. Deadlock is a mystic, Mongrol strong and near mindless, the Hulk of the team if you will, guerrilla warfare tactics originate with General Blackblood, and the Mess is an infiltration specialist. In that the ABC Warriors continue their mission of taming Mars. As nice as the format is, the series is now more easily found combined with \u003cem\u003eBook Two\u003c\/em\u003e as The Meknificent Seven or on pulp paper gathered with other stories as the first Mek Files collection.\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eABC Warriors Book One:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA new, previously unprinted three-page prologue commissioned specially by Titan Books for this collection\n\u003cem\u003eABC Warriors\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Prog #119\n\u003cem\u003eVolgow\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Prog #120\n\u003cem\u003eMongrol\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Progs #121-122\n\u003cem\u003eThe Order of Knights Martial\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e\nProgs #123-124\n\u003cem\u003eThe Bougainville Massacre\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Progs #125-126\n\u003cem\u003eSteelhorn\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Progs #127-128\n\u003cem\u003eMars, the Devil Planet\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Prog #129\n\u003cem\u003eCyboons\u003c\/em\u003e (part 1), reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Prog #130\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlso included in this collection: two new illustrations and a one-page drawing by Kevin O’Neill, as well as a reprint of the cover to \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003eProg #130\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eABC Warriors Book Two:\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCyboons\u003c\/em\u003e (part 2), reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Prog #131\n\u003cem\u003eThe Red Death\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Progs #132-133\n\u003cem\u003eGolgotha\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Progs #134-136\n\u003cem\u003eMad George\u003c\/em\u003e, reprinted from \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Progs #137-139\nA new three page Epilogue specially commissioned by Titan Books\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlso included in this collection: a new illustration by Mike Mahon; a one-page introduction by Kevin O’Neill; a reprint of the cover to \u003cem\u003e2000AD\u003c\/em\u003e Prog #130;  ‘Flesh File’ page and three reprinted \u003cem\u003e2000AD \u003c\/em\u003ecovers from Progs #132, #135 and #138\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOut Of Print.
