The Mean Team created by writers Alan Grant and John Wagner (under the pseudonym 'The Beast') and artist Massimo Belardinelli.
The story appears in 2000AD and follows the comics tradition of bloodthirsty future sport stories (after Harlem Heroes and Mean Arena).
In the annals of the sport of Death-Bowl, no names stand hugher than the all-galaxy champions of 2882-2886, The Mean Team and their Captain Bad Jack Keller, who set an individual kill-point total that would never be equalled.
In a galaxy crying out for new thrills, the art of Death-Bowl has stood the test of time. For over 400 years it has remained the number one spectator sport. Now, by the year 2886, it's all-out action spectacle is being broadcast to 600 worlds - and it's heroes acclaimed by trillions.
