Judge Dredd: A Better World
by Rob Williams, Arthur Wyatt (Writers), Henry Flint, Boo Cook, Jake Lynch (Artists)
Paperback – scheduled for 30th January 2025 | 144 pages
ISBN-13: 978-1837864218
• Judge Dredd: A Better World Hardback 2000AD Webshop Exclusive also available
A Better World is a modern Judge Dredd classic, a powerful story focusing on a large-scale experiment with the aim of making Mega-City One a better place for the citizens who live there, but if the experiment is successful them the power of the Judges could well be destroyed.
Writers Rob Williams and Arthur Wyatt, with artist Henry Flint, craft a taut political thriller that challenges readers to reassess what they think of the world of Judge Dredd.
Rob Williams is the writer of Suicide Squad and Martian Manhunter for DC Comics, Unfollow for Vertigo and Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor for Titan Comics. His previous work for 2000AD includes “Judge Dredd: Titan”, “The Grievous Journey Of Ichabod Azrael (And The Dead Left In His Wake)” and “The Ten-Seconders”, and has written Roy of the Rovers for Rebellion.
Arthur Wyatt is a British writer based in the American Pacific Northwest, where he lives with his wife Heather and children Gayle and Verity. He has written extensively for 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, including stories set in the Judge Dredd universe, the 2012 move Dredd universe, and beyond. He was also the founding editor of the British small press magazine FutureQuake.
Henry Flint, winner of the National Comics Awards for Best Comic Artist 2004, is one of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’s rising superstars. Co-creator of “Sancho Panzer”, “Shakara”, and the fan-favourite strip, “Zombo”, his incredibly versatile pencils have also graced “A.B.C. Warriors”, “Judge Dredd/Aliens”, “Deadlock”, “Judge Dredd”, “Rogue Trooper”, “Nemesis the Warlock”, “The V.C.’s’ and “Venus Bluegenes”. He has even written a “Tharg’s Alien Invasions” strip! He has also worked on several American comics, including Omega Men, Haunted Tank and Fear Itself: Fearsome Four. Away from the comics industry, Henry produced art of the cover of DJ Food’s 2012 album, The Search Engine.
Boo Cook’s 2000AD debut came some years before he was to provide pencils for the comic proper – as a young man, he sent a fan sketch in to the letters page! Thankfully he continued to hone his art, working on a number of “Future Shocks” before landing a guest spot on the fan-favourite “A.B.C. Warriors” series. Cook’s facility with huge crowd scenes and alien designs has quickly established him as a talent to watch, and with three co-created series — “Asylum”, “Dead Men Walking”, “Harry Kipling (Deceased)” — under his belt, he is one of the Galaxy’s Greatest’s brightest hopes for the future.
Jake Lynch is a Norfolk based Illustrator, best known for his work on “Judge Dredd” and “Proteus Vex” for 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine. He has also worked on other Rebellion publications such as Action and The Vigilant, as well as Film/TV, and poster design for others. A self-taught artist, he is living proof that they’ll let any idiot in here and, as a self-confessed Sci-Fi nerd, he is often the first to be asked to leave.

By Karl Stock
Paperback – out Wednesday 12th February 2025 | 176 pages
ISBN-13: 978-1837864355
The early 1980s saw 2000AD hit its golden era. With Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, Sláine and more firing on all cylinders it became the UK’s most exciting and innovative comic. Its covers played no small part in its appeal, and those covers were the brainchild of Robin Smith whose job was to lay out a cover design to pass to an artist who would transform it into the finished product.
This collection of some of Smith’s cover layouts shows just how integral his ideas were to some of 2000AD’s most famous and revered covers, and it’s a fascinating glimpse into the creative process.
Featuring covers by some of the galaxy’s greatest artists, including Brian Bolland (The Killing Joke), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Carlos Ezquerra (Judge Dredd), Kevin O’Neill (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Mick McMahon (Judge Dredd), Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Alan Davis (Captain Britain), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Cam Kennedy (Rogue Trooper), Massimo Belardinelli (Ace Trucking Co.), Eric Bradbury (Mytek The Mighty), Brett Ewins (Johnny Nemo), Glenn Fabry (Sláine), Ian Kennedy (Dan Dare), José Ortiz (The Thirteenth Floor), Cliff Robinson (Judge Dredd), Kim Raymond (Roy of the Rovers), Ron Smith (Judge Dredd), Brendan McCarthy (Rogan Gosh) and Bryan Talbot (Nemesis the Warlock).

“I AM THE LAW!”
In the Third Millenium, the world changed. Climate. Nations. All were in upheaval. Humanity itself turned as violent as the planet. Civilisation threatened to collapse. And then… a solution was found. The crumbling legal system was merged with the overburdened police, creating a powerful and efficient hybrid. These new guardians of society had the power to dispense both justice and punishment. They were police, jury, and executioner all in one. They were the Judges!
When Mega-City One erupts in violent block wars, there’s only one man Justice Department can rely on to suffocate the flames of rebellion. His name is Judge Dredd.
But when the city’s brightest beacon of justice is convicted of breaking the very law he’s been entrusted to uphold, he’s sentenced to spend the rest of his life rotting in the Aspen Penal Colony.
In order to clear his name, Dredd must escape captivity, make his way across the toxic Cursed Earth, break back into the city, and find the familiar foe that framed him. All in a day’s work for Judge Dredd.
Featuring art by legendary Judge Dredd co-creator Carlos Ezquerra (Preacher) and a script by Andrew Helfer (The Shadow), this is the official adaptation of Judge Dredd, the 1995 movie written by William Wisher, Jr. (Terminator 2: Judgement Day) and Steven E. de Souza (Die Hard).

Art by Rafael Busóm Clúa
Paperback – scheduled for 7th May 2025
ISBN: 978-1837865390
• Available here direct from the Treasury of British Comics web shop
From the very first night in her new flat, Jilly Johnson is haunted by nightmares and calls out the name of a man who Jilly does not know. Spooked by a fortune teller, and by what she sees as the flat itself sending her messages, she becomes determined to find out more about the previous tenants, and the accident that led to the death of one of them. And then in The Island of Stones, two English tourists on holiday on a Greek island meet a modern master sculptor, known for his stone statues of the human form, and discover the secret of his success – the head of Medusa. This story acts as a showcase for Rafael Busom Clua, who initially caught the reader’s eye with his incredibly stylish work on Sugar Jones.
Rafael Busóm Clúa (who usually signed his work as Busom Cluá, also known as Rafael Busom) made his debut in comics in Spain in the 1960s, with strips for Azucena, published by Toray and for the anthology title, Sissi, published by Bruguera.
During the 1970s and 1980s his work featured in a variety of British comics, many commissioned through Selecciones Ilustradas, including Picture Romance, Jinty, Pink and Oh, Boy!. His best known work, some strips collected as The Best of Sugar Jones by Rebellion in 2020, is Sugar Jones for Pink, written by Pat Mills. Some of the strips Clua drew were reprinted in Spain in the collections Babette, Salomé and Torbellino, but not “Sugar Jones”. Tebeosfera notes they also featured in some French magazines, including Corail, German (Vanessa) and Holland (Anita Super Boek).

After the death of Malcolm Kinniburgh, who had previously kept the Thistlebone legend alive, the local Harrowvale constabulary find clues that lead them to investigate the abandoned film production of a 1970s folk horror film, The Dule Tree. Based on a harrowing account from the seventeen hundreds where thirteen innocent women and one man were hanged during the witch trials, the film itself ran into production problems, the source of which has remained a mystery for fifty years.
Tom Eglington began writing for 2000AD in 2010, his first work being on a Steve Yeowell illustrated “Future Shock”, “Universal Masterchef”. Since then, he has gone on to create scripts for numerous “Future Shocks”, “3rillers”, “Time Twisters” and “Mega-City One Tales”. He has created original series “Outlier”, “Blunt” and “Thistlebone”.

His work beyond the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic includes two children’s novels, and he is known as an artist, with work appearing in galleries as far afield as New York, LA and Australia.
Simon Davis divides his time between comic work and portrait painting and is a member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (RP). Davis began working in comics in the early 1990s but has also worked as a storyboard artist and magazine illustrator.

Major Taggart leads the squad of four soldiers, court martialled for various offences and dubbed the Rat Pack. These soldiers are sent on do-or-die missions for the Allies during World War II, and despite them resent Taggart and not trusting each other, they must still complete their missions against the Nazi forces.
With stories ranging from finding stolen diplomatic papers, destroying German-held dams in Norway, and hijacking Hitler’s personal train in order to steal Nazi war plans, this collection brings together the ultimate, and greatest, Rat Pack stories in one volume, with stunning art by Cam Kennedy and Eric Bradbury.
Alan Hebden scripted a number of comics in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including strips for Battle such as “The Rat Pack” with artists Carlos Ezquerra, Massimo Belardinelli and Eric Bradbury, “Major Eazy” with Carlos Ezquerra, “War Dog” and “Fighting Mann” with Cam Kennedy and both “Death Squad” and “Crazy Keller” with Eric Bradbury. For Starlord he wrote “Mind Wars”, which featured the art of Jesus Redondo, and scripted the majority of “Planet of the Damned” (its opening having been scripted by Pat Mills). His prolific work for 2000AD included “Meltdown Man” and the sequel to “Harlem Heroes” with Massimo Bellardinelli. He also scripted “Death Planet”, which featured the first female lead in a 2000AD strip. Alan is currently working on a violent, sexy novel that follows a blood-soaked trail of retribution, from the India of the Raj on the eve of World War One to England and Italy at the start of the Swinging Sixties.
Cam Kennedy‘s many comic credits include many strips for 2000AD. A key early “Rogue Trooper” artist, he has also drawn Batman/Judge Dredd: Vendetta in Gotham, “Judge Dredd”, “Tharg the Mighty”, “Tharg’s Future Shocks”, and “The V.C.’s”. His extracurricular work includes “Axel Pressbutton”, Batman, Lobo, Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Star Wars.
Eric Bradbury began his comic career at Knockout, working on such humour strips as “Blossom” and “Our Ernie”. He moved onto the adventure western, “Lucky Logan”, sharing art chores with Mike Western (Bradbury would go on to ink Western’s pencils on “The Leopard from Lime Street”). High profile work on “Mytek the Mighty” (Valiant), “The House of Dolmann” (Valiant), “Von Hoffman’s Invasion” (Jet!), “Death Squad” (Battle), “Hook Jaw” (Action) and “Doomlord” (Eagle) followed. Bradbury has been described as an ‘unsung hero’ of 2000AD, having contributed to many popular strips in the long-running sci-fi comic. His credits in the ‘Galaxy’s Greatest comic’ include “Rogue Trooper”, “Tharg the Mighty”, “Invasion” and “The Mean Arena”.
