Junker

Junker was a strip by Michael Fleischer, John Ridgway and Tim Perkins about a hard-drinkin', sharp-shootin', mean-hearted old son-of-a-gun who was also an interstellar garbage man. His modus operandi was to find some beat-up wreck in space, threaten a merchant with a gun until he got a high enough price for it, then elbow his way through hordes of rainbow-hued whores in a seedy space-port to get to the nearest bar that sold "Terran rotgut." The strip was published in 2000 AD progs 708-716 and 724-730.
