Bad Company #15

Bad Company #15 was released in 1988 as part of the science fiction anthology series featured in the British weekly comic 2000 AD. Created by writer Peter Milligan and artist Brett Ewins, the series chronicled the exploits of a group of convict soldiers fighting on the alien planet of Ararat. This issue emerged during a period when the series was firmly established as a dark, satirical take on war comics, distinguishing itself through its gritty narrative tone and unconventional character dynamics.

The visual identity of the series was heavily influenced by Ewins' dynamic and expressive line work, which complemented Milligan's cynical, often surreal scripts. By the time this issue was published, the creative team had successfully pushed the boundaries of the traditional war comic genre, earning a dedicated following among readers who appreciated the blend of hard-edged military action and post-punk aesthetics. The series remains a significant touchstone for late 1980s British comics.
