Warriors features art from Britain’s finest talent, including Kevin O’Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) Mick McMahon (Sláine), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), Brendan McCarthy (Skin) and Simon Bisley (Lobo).

Indeed cool, i read a comic story about ABC Warriors, and when i searched for some cartoons, shock, not a single one, what a waste, damn, i was imagining this cartoons series would be appropriate tor the 80's, but sadly there is nothing.
@mihaithemystic2890ABC warriors is criminally underrated I know people say that about a lot of stuff but I believe ABC deserves much more respect and recognition than it gets. I discovered ABC purely because I saw the black blood mini on the shelf at a little con and then the hole setting just took me
@KomradeEggDuckBrother there's something wrong with your audio, I hear what sounds like a whispering sound or voice under yours. It's a bit distracting. Was that intentional?
@thegreatswoop8684Steel horn and the Mess are the same entity only the Mess is the melted down form of the Steel horn robot.
@iainriley8819Anyone else remember a strip about robots that had a mongrol size robot called big red, and a monowheeled scout droid whose name began with O? They had a female human ally too iirc. But even though my brother and I remember them, noone else does...
@swaggerfm9838You can't get much better than General Blackblood. A Pirate robot that drank the oil from dead robots! I mean, the entire backstories of all the ABC Warriors are superb but that one tickles me to this day.
@ayarlettABC warriors, the Chronicles of chaos, as well as other strips of that time in 2000ad is what got me seriously into comics. The artwork by Kev Walker is just bloody gorgeous.
@antonybullock2240Im so glad to find out about. Ive been hoping for something a bit like transformers, featuring living robots as the main characters, and with minimal human involvement(unlike Japanese mecha which are all human dependant)..
Whats even better is this is a story that sells a story without the distraction of selling toys.
They were really awesome at the time. I just didn't like the veering off into mysticism. Deadlock was well and good but they're robots!
@mettrisscomputeque8238Jeo Pineapples may had style but he was NOT a crossdresser.
@MacCionnaithSuch evil garbage.
@pmd7771969weirdo!
@dukeleto7787Good ABC intro vid. You might want to make your audio mono when recording as it's swinging from left to right and back a lot
@TNJXOne of my favourites. I would flip out if they made a movie of the ABC’s.
@L1VE3V1LA.B.C. Warriors are hard!
I've read or got still all their isht from Eric Bradbury in starlord to Mike mcMahon and Brendon Mccarthy.
Grew up on that. So many Happy memories!
I have 2 crates of 2000AD from my youth. Some of my best memories were made reading them. ABC Warriors, Rogue, the Judge, Slaine. Plus the countless short runs. Amazing shit.
@yodafourJUST MAKE THE MOVIE!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!
@darpowAll those Marvel & D.C. movies, Avengers, X-Men, FF4 & Silver Surfer, Wonder Woman, Batman etc. etc. yet still no 2000ad movies other than the Dredd attempts....
@davefrancisjarrett3563Yea Live action ABC Warriors would be Jaw dropping.
@70agrrSomeone should also make a series
@halotitanmrkprimal0001I like robot abc
@UmayRobotMetalArtI wish I kept my 2OOOAD comics..... I remember a story in them called flesh...... It was on a giant rig in the ocean, surrounded by sea monsters.... I'll never forget this introduction into incredible art work......
@michaelstanford3224i used to read these every week when i was 8 or 9 years old ( thats 44 years ago now 2020 ) . i thought it was fab , amazed by it .
@chrishaps6846ABC Warriors in the Time Wastes.........F⛔️⛔️K Yes !!! Spread the Word......!
@douglasarthur2673Bisley's Black Hole is probably my all-time favourite artwork. Love Kevin Walker's art too.
@RUBBER_BULLETStar Lord!
Who?
I can't wait for ABC Warriors The Mek Files 5 to come out.
@loboeclipseI thought it was biological but it's bacterial Lol
@Armando.SepulvedaNot similar to Dredd of ABC robots
@janosbozsar5721Who would be better to direct an ABC warrior movie Peter Jackson or Micheal Bay?
@trainfan-ks5hkWhat about Terry?
@AsiandynamoABC Warriors used to be my favourite strip. I used to like Hammerstein. Liked MekQuake too.
@KevTheImpalerLos Atomic Bacterial Chemical llegaron a todo el mundo por las ediciones Zinco Españolas estos no eran Gobots , no eran Transformers, pero tambien tenian historias geniales. Guerras entre robots de distintos bandos, que iban convirtiendo a otros robots a su bando, como los Caballeros en las Cruzadas. EXCELENTES COMICS.
@danjoel7730have written prequel on my "ABC Warriors Unite" channel on facebook
@williamzeebub6463i love the abc and dredd comics from the 1990s man the artwork was fuckin awesome
@longbowandwarbowcraftingbo2859Thank you
@loupiscanis9449I'm here 2019, cos I saw Judge Dredd again and I am still in love with the ABC Robot after 15 years. LOL I still really want a ABC Warrior from Judge Dredd 1/16 statue in my lounge room with the voice and glowing eyes but no company does it
@mr8883wasnt steelhorn the mess - the robot that got melted down
@mokhotHow are there still no toys of these
@RyanParrenoJoe Pineapples is the one for me in this series.....proper badass
@realityisdigitalI would love to seen Peter Jackson translate this story to film.
@eyeseer1I would love to see a cartoon/movie of A.B.C warriors in a intense Simon Bisley style!
@benjaminkarlsson9080i have written an origin story. ABC
@WilliamZeebubgreatest robot story ever told
@WilliamZeebubi have an origin story
@WilliamZeebubMy favourite strip ever in 2000AD, particularly the earlier stories with the beautiful black and white artwork.
@spiderjerusalem100The mess was steel horn .. I recall steelhorn getting locked in some kind of incinerator and becomes the mess .. great story
@mokhot
