Search/Destroy: A Strontium Dog Fan Film is a short unofficial, not for profit project, based on the work of John Wagner, Carlos Ezquerra and Alan Grant. It was produced by the team behind the Judge Dredd-based fan film, Judge Minty, and follows Johnny and Wulf as they investigate a spate of Strontium Dog disappearances.

Matthew Simpson stars as Johnny Alpha and Kevin Horsham as Wulf Sternhammer, preview screenings and production images have received positive reactions from co-creators John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra.

The film received its premiere at 2000AD’s 40 Years of Thrill-Power Festival back in February and is now available to view online for free.
