Issues # 180-181 - The Big Broadcast of 2006
Reprinting US # 43 (with two new pages added)

Script: Ralph Macchio (main story), Simon Furman (prologue and epilogue)

Inker: Dave Elliot (main story)
Art: Lee Sullivan (prologue and epilogue)
Letterer: Kurt Hathaway (main story), Glib (prologue and epilogue)

Editor: Don Daley (main story)

Footnote: In the USA, the story The Big Broadcast of 2006 was just a filler story with no bearing on the regular storyline. But in the British comic book, Simon Furman cleverly managed to work it into the storyline by framing it between two prologue and epilogue pages, turning it into a tale that a captured Wreck-Gar told his interrogator. While the tale still has no actual bearing on the main storyline, at least now there was some point in its existence as it helped kick off the next story arc...
