This year, Mondo, the company behind incredible limited edition screen printed posters for classic and contemporary films, television shows and comics, have partnered with 2000AD to release an exclusive poster for Thought Bubble attendees – Judge Death poster by Florian Bertmer.

Vice Press will be unveiling the next releases in their officially licensed line of limited edition 2000AD art prints. Produced by Vice Press co-owner Matt Ferguson, these two prints feature the classic 2000AD series Strontium Dog (edition of 100, 18”x24”, £25) and Judge Dredd (edition of 120, 12”x6” Screen Print, £10). Both pieces will be released exclusively at the Vice Press booth in the New Dock Hall Foyer at Thought Bubble, with remaining copies going online at Vice Press on 16th November.

The 2000AD booth will also have 40 early copies of the Judge Dredd Sketchbook. Forty copies of this special book – featuring brand new sketches from Brian Bolland, Greg Staples, Charlie Adlard, Cliff Robinson, Kev Walker, Chris Weston, and many more 2000 AD artistic alumni – will be available for just £10 at the show and it’s first-come-first-served.

Plus, the comic will have two of their top talents signing at the booth during the weekend – Henry Flint and Jon Davis-Hunt.
