The Biogs was a Dan Dare story which appeared in 2000AD Prog 1. It was set in the year 2177.

Synopsis

Part One[1]

Commander Dan Dare was taking the ageing space freighter to a space museum on Earth's moon. As it passed Jupiter it was subject to power failures in all sectors. As the starship was ripped apart, Dare called for the crew to evacuate, though discovered soon after that he was the only survivor.

Six solar units later he was picked up by an S.A.S.A. rescue ship and taken to Lunaciti. Under threat of court martial, Dare forced his way on board the Odyssey, a cruiser due to pass near Jupiter.

Part Two[2]

Dare was spotted by a guard. In the fistfight which ensued, the guard was knocked unconsciou and two other guards were molecularised. He made his way to the bridge where he was given two minutes to explain his actions to the commander. The commander was not convinced, but as Zarkos prepared to execute him a creature from Jupiter started to materialise on the bridge.

Part Three[3]

Monday ordered the creature to be molecularised, but Dare interrupted to take it alive so that they could find out about the creature from Jupiter. Grabbing the horns on the head of the creature, Dare managed to knock it unconscious. It was taken to medic-sector two. Now convinced, Monday led a party down to the surface of Jupiter. The party soon found themselves out of control after a radio storm disrupted their autoguidance system.

Part Four[4]

Dare took over manual control and managed to land the party on an island on Jupiter. Exploring the island in suits with built in force fields, Logan followed his sensors to a power source, which caused his space suit to fail, Jupiter's gravity killing him instantly. The remains of the party then encountered a bug-like creature. Meanwhile, the creature on the Odyssey had awakened.
