    Sid The Sexist
    Rude Boy
    Buster Gonad

    Reaching back into the dim and distant past I seem to remember Hookjaw was a shark but can't for the life of me remember why he was in a comic strip.
    Union Jack Jackson was in Warlord comic, a Brit in an American Marine unit in WW2.
    Lord Peter Flint again in Warlord a WW2 intel operative(possibily).
    I feel very very old now 🙂

    'That Blue Bloke' was Rouge Trooper, and most/all of your list is from 2000AD, whilst the OP was from a gentler age of ginger beer and slap up feasts, rather than wholesale death and mutilation……….wish i still had all my old 2000AD's (cheers mum!)

    I hated that Korky the Kat, what a k**t he was.

    Ah, but who else remembers Kampfruppe Falken? Great stories with <gasp> sympathetic German characters as the leads.

    I saw 2000AD or maybe the Judge Dredd thing were reprinting Charley's War, now that was bloody brilliant… A kid's war story that wasn't just "Isn't war GREAT!"

    What about Skid Solo, Roy Race, Blackie Gray, Johnny Cougar etc? All from Tiger I think.

    And also Alf Tupper, Billy's Boots and Hot Shot Hamish from other comics.

    What about Lt. Blueberry? (Ok, it started in the sixties) or Arzach?

    One thing thats great, is that with all the sadly failed comics of the seventies, 2000AD is still going, and alongside the characters people have mentioned they have got highly original new ones like Zombo, Shakara!, and Gene the Hackman.
