History[]
Joe Brontowski is a character from the 2000 AD strip Flesh. He was a nice guy who made friends with the Chief Ranger Earl Reagan during a scouting mission that went wrong. During their trek back to the Trans-Time base, Joe was attacked by pteranodons, giant crocodiles, velociraptors, giant snakes and a pack of tyrannosaurs led by the despicable Old One Eye. Despite this Joe believed that what he and his bosses were doing here was morally wrong.
When Joe was bitten by a tyrannosaur and lying close to death, Reagan risked his life to cut a gland out of Old One Eye's neck so that the inebriated doctor in Carver City could use it to make a medicine to save Joe's life. Astonishingly, Joe recovered. The doctor later admitted that he was the first patient of his to do so.
Joe fought alongside Reagan many times, and even the downright evil Claw Carver several times but sadly died during the final dinosaur-led assault on the Trans-Time base, being bitten by a giant spider.
