This Week’s UK News Stand Snapshot: “The Thirteenth Floor” is Back!

2000AD Prog 2153, Judge Dredd: The Megazine Issue 413, Scream and Misty presents The Thirteenth Floor: Home Sweet HomeNew British news stand comics / magazine on sale this week include 2000AD Prog 2153, Judge Dredd: The Megazine Issue 413 – and the smashing Scream and Misty presents The Thirteenth Floor: Home Sweet Home, all on sale today; plus the latest Beano, Commando, The Phoenix and more.

Home Sweet Home is a 48-page special filled with the best chills that British comics can deliver, centring on “The Thirteenth Floor” first seen in Scream, where the homicidal caretaker computer Max puts those he doesn’t like – a mysterious floor of the tower block he controls where he keeps their worst fears. Few, if any, survive if they get on Max’s wrong side. There’s some great art throughout by veteran artists such as John Stokes and Tom Paterson, alongside creators that include Abigail Harding and Kelley Jones. Definitely one to track down!
