Bad Company #14

Bad Company #14 was published as part of the long-running science fiction anthology series in 2000 AD. Created by writer Peter Milligan and artist Brett Ewins, the series chronicled the harrowing, surreal experiences of a group of convict soldiers on the planet Ararat. Its gritty, anti-war themes were central to the comic's identity, reflecting a cynical perspective on military intervention that resonated deeply with the 1980s British comics readership.

The visual language of the series, defined by Ewins’ distinctively kinetic and somewhat claustrophobic art style, sought to emphasize the psychological toll of continuous combat. As the series progressed into later installments like issue 14, the narrative leaned further into its hallucinatory and existential elements. The title maintained a dedicated following for its departure from standard heroic tropes, establishing a cult reputation for its dark, uncompromising storytelling.
