By John Freeman on July 11, 2025 • ( 1 )

After making their glorious return in recent years, Rebellion have announced that both The Treasury of British Comics Annual and The 2000AD Annual – both sell-out successes in 2025 – will both be back this year, spreading Thrill-Power faster than Santa can zip down a chimney!

The 2000AD Annual 2026 features covers from Ladronn and Simon Bisley (the Biz!) and new adventures for Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper and Judge Anderson, alongside secrets and surprises from the 2000AD vault.

Meanwhile, The Treasury of British Comics Annual 2026 celebrates the history of British Comics with covers from Staz Johnson and James Harren, and new stories including Gums, Helmet Head, Vanessa from Venus, Mytek the Mighty and more!

Running to over a hundred pages each, both annuals contain a hearty mix of all-new stories, features and hidden gems from the archives – making them the ultimate stocking Thriller.

Each of these hardback editions are available in either a standard or webshop-edition, featuring some of the greatest artists in the industry today.
