Another classic collection! September 10, 2008
A really good collection of a pretty golden period! Most of its taken up with the Bubba/Rage saga, book-ended with a couple of shorter but very enjoyable stories. Wulf gets an origin story, Johnny goes on a galaxy-wide rampage, Alan Grant's writing is at its best (the humour and grit are perfectly balanced) and its all brilliantly drawn by Carlos Ezquerra!
The bonus material is comprised of the usual below par annual stories, but hey, its bonus material.
Essential. September 6, 2008
Strontium Dog can be loosely described as an off-the-wall space western, and vol 3 collects an absolute blinding run of stories. This is some of the best stuff 2000AD ever did, and a contender for collected edition of the year. Like all the Strontium Dog stories, it's wildly imaginative, mad, violent, hilarious and absurd; and this one is occasionally chilling too. If you enjoy comics, you NEED this, I can't stress that enough.
After you've read it, a fun thing to do with old Strontium Dog is to give it to a kid and observe their consciousness expanding.
It's a dog's life (and death). . . October 30, 2007

This book, like Volumes 1 and 2 of this series, is another masterpiece.
Alan Grant continues the galactic adventures of mutant bounty hunter Johnny Alpha and his Viking partner, Wulf Sternhammer in a collection of brilliant stories. Once again, Grant's stories are original and exciting, and Carlos Ezquerra's trademark artwork is spectacular.
Included in this Volume are fantastic stories such as "The Slavers of Drule", "The Incident on Mayger Minor", "The Ragnarok Job" and "Rage".
Every story in the book is great, but the stand-out ones have to be "The Ragnarok Job" and "Rage".
"The Ragnarok Job" is a time-travelling tale where we are told the origin of Johnny's long-standing partnership with Wulf (and which culminates, in a bitter twist, with the Viking's death at the hands of the evil mutant Max Bubba, who Johnny was contracted to travel back in time to capture).
"Rage" is the follow-on, where Johnny hunts down Bubba's gang to carry out a terrible and ruthless revenge. (You can almost feel Johnny's anger and hatred at Wulf's killers!).
If the book had a weak point, I would say that it is the final story, "War Zone". It's a good idea, but the story is way too short and could have done with filling out some more.
Personally I prefer Volume 2, which includes some of my favourite stories, but this is still superb.
I expect that Volume 4 will be the final one, and I can't wait to get my hands (or should I say paws) on it.
This is Strontium Dog at its very best. Alpha fans will not be disappointed!
