Zarjaz Issue 25 - Wrap Around Cover

Beneath the cover by Daniel Dwyer, the winner of the 2000AD Thought Bubble competition in 2014, FQP also bring you more thrills than you should be allowed to access in a single sitting in Zarjaz 25 – 48 pages for the amazing price of £3.

This issue features two ABC Warriors strips, “Red Spice” by writer Lee Robson and artist Alfie Gallagher and “Rover” by Martin Currie; a Future Shock, “Trash Ed” by writer Ryan King and artist Stephen Prestwood; “Judge Dredd -The Epiphany Of Treasure Highland” by writer Mark Howard and artist Daniel Dwyer; two Rogue Trooper stories, “Lone Gunnar” by Martin Currie and “The Walking Dead” by writer Lee Robson and artist James Newell; “Shakara – The Fourth Buggerian” by Scott Twells; and “Tales Of Mega-City One – The Story of Jjon Pepps” by writer Alistair Mclean and artist Danos Philopoulos.

This will be the seventh time that FQP has had a table at the Festival and as this is the tenth anniversary of the first year of FQP the team have decided to drop the price of all bagged back issues on sale at the event. Whether you want to fill your gaps in your Zarjaz collection, or dip your toes into the astounding worlds on show in FutureQuake, all back issues (the bagged ones) are going to be available for 50p off cover.

Also on sale will be limited copies of the terrific Neroy Sphinx collection, reviewed extensively here, – if you want to read what all the fuss is about, make sure you pick up a copy. Available for a paltry £5.00.

El Bigote - La Noche de los Muertoads Issue One

FQP will also be selling copies of El Bigote – La Noche de los Muertoads Issue One courtesy of the creative team, but be warned they don’t have many and they’re expected to sell fast.

All purchases over £10.00 get to choose a complimentary mini sketch, as drawn by Bolt-01 over the last few months. At the Edgbaston comic expo in April, FQP gave away 100 of these with the premier goody bag.

• This year FQP are in the New Dock hall, and can be found at Table #133. If you’re not at Thought Bubble, then all the above titles are on sale from the FutureQuake Press store at www.futurequake.co.uk/shop.php
