The stars of a long running 2000 AD comic strip written by Pat Mills, The ABC Warriors were a team of seven robots that had fought in the Volgan War (which also appeared in Invasion, featuring Bill Savage and Ro-Busters, featuring Hammerstein and Ro-Jaws) and been brought together to tame Mars, which had become a futuristic wild west. In further adventures set much later in time, the warriors teamed up with Nemesis the Warlock to prevent a destabilised Black Hole bypass at the Earth's core destroying the world. The 'ABC' part of their name stands for Atomic, Biological, Chemical, forms of warfare deadly to humans which they were designed to withstand. Some of the most famous artists working in British comics have illustrated The ABC Warriors, including Kevin O'Neill, Mike McMahon, Brett Ewins, Brendan McCarthy, Carlos Ezquerra, Dave Gibbons, Simon Bisley, Kev Walker and Henry Flint, among others. ==Characters== The members of the Warriors have changed over the years. Here are the most long-serving members: Hammerstein has been the leader of the Warriors for most of the comic's run, although after the death of Terri (at the end of 'Black Hole') he surrendered the position to Deadlock for a number of stories. The first war robot built with a conscience (allowing him the ability to distinguish between combatants and civilians), he was recruited to lead the ABC Warriors during the Volgan Wars by the mysterious Colonel Lash. Humanoid in form, his right 'hand' is actually the combat hammer that gives him his name. ...more on Wikipedia about "ABC Warriors"
