Another fine annual from the freaks at Fleetway. The cover is by Dave Gibbons, and has Tharg in the centre panel, with Judge Dredd on his right side and Johnny Alpha on his left.

Following a double page spread of the Space Shuttle illustrating many key features of Earth's first reusable space craft, in orbit; We have a six page illustrated text story: Strontium Dog - Night of the Blood-Freaks!
Next, is a five pave article on special effects in sci-fi movies; touching on creature make-up and costumes, stop-motion animation, the matte process, miniatures and full-scale mock-ups, the shuftan process (a smoke and mirrors process which was largely superseded by Matte), and finally cartoon-live action. Although very brief in nature, this was a very informative article!
Following on is, The Mekon of Mekonta presents '10 Ways to Destroy the World'.
18 pages in, we come across our first comic 'Tharg's Future Shocks - The Mumps from Beyond the Moon' by Staccato (AKA Alan Grant), with art by Robin Smith and lettering by Jack Potter.
Following The Mighty Tharg's Cosmic Puzzle Pages, we are presented with something unexpected: Ro-Jaws and Hammer-Stein's Mini Annual (it's actually just fourteen full size pages) packed with articles aimed at 200ADs robot readership. Included within are comic pages from Ro-Busters by Chris Stevens, with art by Dave Hardwood and lettering by Peter Knight; and a Ro-Jaws' Robo-Tales text story 'Human on my Back'.
Finally we are left with The A.B.C. Warriors Data-File.
