MEGA-CITY DONE?
The longest-running Judge Dredd story arc kicks into high gear as the Chaos Bug takes hold in Mega-City One. An act of revenge thirty years in the making could bring the ‘Big Meg’ to its knees. With the Justice Department weakened, will Dredd and his fellow Judges be able to contain the deadly virus and stop the newly-freed Dark Judges from destroying everything?
John Wagner has been scripting for 2000 AD for more years than he cares to remember. His creations include Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Ace Trucking, Al’s Baby, Button Man and Mean Machine. Outside of 2000 AD his credits include Star Wars, Lobo, The Punisher and the critically acclaimed A History of Violence.
Al Ewing has been a Judge Dredd aficionado since the age of nine, and is best known in the UK for his work on Dredd in 2000 AD, where he also co-created Zombo and Damnation Station. In addition, Ewing has written various novels for Solaris and Abaddon Books, including The Fictional Man, Pax Omega and Gods of Manhattan, and is currently writing Mighty Avengers and Loki: Agent of Asgard for Marvel Comics.
Michael Carroll is the author of over forty books, including the award-winning New Heroes series of Young Adult superhero novels and the #1 Amazon best-selling cult graphic novel Judge Dredd: Every Empire Falls. He currently writes Proteus Vex and Judge Dredd for 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine. Other works include Jennifer Blood for Dynamite Entertainment, Razorjack for Titan Books (co-written with artist John Higgins), and the Rico Dredd trilogy for Abaddon Books, for whom he has also created the acclaimed JUDGES series which explores the genesis 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 2000 AD includes Judge Dredd: Titan, The Grievous Journey Of Ichabod Azrael (And The Dead Left In His Wake) and The Ten-Seconders, and he is currently writing Roy of the Rovers for Rebellion.
Simon “Si” Spurrier writes novels and comics. His work in the latter field stretches from award winning creator-owned books such as Numbercruncher, Six-Gun Gorilla and The Spire to projects in the U.S. mainstream like Hellblazer, The Dreaming, and X-Men. It all began with a series of twist-in-the-tail stories for the UK’s beloved 2000AD, which ignited an enduring love for genre fiction. His latest book, Coda, is being published by Boom! Studios at present. His prose works range from the beatnik neurosis-noir of Contract to the occult whodunnit A Serpent Uncoiled via various franchise and genre-transgressing titles. In 2016 he took a foray into experimental fiction with the e-novella Unusual Concentrations: a tale of coffee, crime and overhead conversations. He lives in Margate, regards sushi as part of the plotting process, and has the fluffiest of cats.

The first fifty years of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic!
The 2000AD Visual History details the year-by-year evolution of the legendary weekly comic and the legion of groundbreaking characters and stories it launched.
Debuting in 1977, 2000AD exploded onto the comics scene, ushering in an exciting new era of British pop culture. It created some of the most iconic characters in comics including Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Strontium Dog, Sláine, Nemesis the Warlock, and many more. Characters that would shape — or warp — the imagination of generations of readers.
This comprehensive volume celebrates five decades of weekly comics, detailing work from industry-changing artists including Dave Gibbons, Brian Bolland, Simon Bisley, and Judge Dredd co-creator Carlos Ezquerra.
2000AD: A Visual History is essential reading for anyone interested in comics, British pop culture and both dedicated and casual fans alike.
Since 1994 Scott Montgomery’s professional writing has encompassed journalism, comic scripts, prose fiction and radio comedy. For 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine he wrote the history of Rogue Trooper in 1996, updated in 2006 – and compiled “The Dredd Files”, a detailed, monthly analysis of the early years of the Judge Dredd strip – which stood him in good stead for writing the 2000AD Encyclopedia. He worked on the editorial teams of The Dandy and then Commando comics for publisher DC Thomson & Co. Ltd from 2004 until 2016, and has also scripted the iconic “Oor Wullie” and “The Broons” comic strips for the Sunday Post newspaper. Other credits include newsstand titles such as Beano, Thunderbirds Are Go, Doctor Who Magazine, The People’s Friend, Yours Fiction, My Weekly, the Sunday Mail, The List and others – as well as contributing material to five series of BBC Radio Scotland’s topical comedy show Watson’s Wind-Up, which starred Jonathan Watson. Scott’s previous publications include The Long, Big Kiss Goodbye – an original crime novella for Telos and a puzzle book, James Bond Word Searches: Unofficial and Unauthorised, published independently.
Perhaps the most popular 2000 AD artist of all time, Brian Bolland’s clean-line style and meticulous attention to detail ensure that his artwork on strips including Dan Dare, Future Shocks, Judge Dredd and Walter the Wobot looks as fresh today as it did when first published. Co-creator of both Judge Anderson and The Kleggs, Bolland’s highly detailed style unfortunately precluded him from doing many sequential strips — although he found the time to pencil both Camelot 3000 and Batman: The Killing Joke for DC Comics.
Dave Gibbons is one of 2000AD’s most popular artists, having co-created Harlem Heroes and Rogue Trooper. He has also pencilled “A.B.C. Warriors”, “Dan Dare”, “Judge Dredd”, “Mega-City One”, “Ro-Busters”, “Tharg the Mighty”, “Tharg’s Future Shocks” and “Time Twisters”, as well as having scripted several “Rogue Trooper” stories – making Gibbons one of the few 2000AD creators to have served as writer, artist and letterer. Beyond 2000AD, he is unquestionably best known for his work on the award-winning classic Watchmen (with Alan Moore), but he has also drawn Batman, Doctor Who, Give Me Liberty, Green Lantern, Superman, Star Wars and his graphic novel, The Originals.
Kevin O’Neill (22nd August 1953 – 3rd November 2022) was a 2000AD legend. From working as an art assistant on the very first prog, he quickly became involved in the creative side of the comic, co-creating classics like “A.B.C. Warriors”, “Bonjo From Beyond The Stars”, “Metalzoic” and “Nemesis the Warlock”. Outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, O’Neill was briefly notorious as the only artist ever to have his work rejected wholesale by the Comics Code Authority! Happily, his notoriety quickly became fame and acclaim, as his work on strips like Marshal Law and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen raised him to a very high profile.
Carlos Ezquerra (12th November 1947 – 1st October 2018) was the co-creator of Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rat Pack, Major Eazy and many other fan-favourite characters, he designed the classic original Dredd costume as well as visually conceptualising Mega-City One. In addition to these credits he also illustrated “A.B.C. Warriors”, “Judge Anderson”, “Tharg the Mighty”, and “Cursed Earth Koburn”, amongst many other stories. Outside of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Ezquerra illustrated the first “Third World War” episodes in Crisis magazine, and became a regular collaborator with Garth Ennis, working on Adventures in the Rifle Brigade, Bloody Mary, Just a Pilgrim, Condors, The Magnificent Kevin and two special Preacher episodes. He died in 2018, but his profound influence on the world of comic art cannot be overstated.

For too long the people of Tir-Nan-Og have suffered under the dominion of the Drunes, strange druids who have poisoned the land with their magic. Sláine, now King of the Sessair, takes a stand against their tyranny. He must unite the four kings of Tir-Nan-Og and use their mystical weapons, as he and his tribe prepare for all-out war against the Lord Weird Slough Feg and his Fomorian allies.
This volume collects Pat Mills’ epic sagas The Horned God and Demon Killer, featuring the game-changing painted work of Simon Bisley (Lobo, Hellblazer) and stunning art by Glenn Fabry (Preacher, Swamp Thing) and Greg Staples (Judge Dredd, Magic: The Gathering).
Pat Mills is the creator and first editor of 2000AD. He developed Judge Dredd and is the writer-creator of many of 2000AD’s most popular stories such as “Sláine”, “Nemesis the Warlock” and “A.B.C. Warriors”. Amongst his credits are Marshal Law (Marvel and DC Comics), co-created with Kevin O’Neill, the French graphic novel series Requiem, Vampire Knight with artist Olivier Ledroit, and Be Pure! Be Vigilant! Behave! The Secret History of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd. His projects also include “Joe Pineapples: Tin Man”, illustrated by Simon Bisley and Clint Langley, Spacewarp, and Kiss My Axe! The Secret History of Sláine the Warped Warrior.
Simon Bisley occupies an almost unique place in 2000AD history, as one of the first UK artists to popularise the fully-painted style pioneered by Argentinian artist Alberto Brecchia. His highly dynamic artwork made his two major series in the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic – “A.B.C. Warriors: The Black Hole” and “Sláine: The Horned God” — very popular, as they remain to date. He also illustrated “Heavy Metal Dredd” in the Megazine, an ultra-graphic, adults-only take on the lawman, before going on to pencil the hugely successful first Batman/Judge Dredd crossover story, Judgement on Gotham. Bisley has provided countless pin-ups and short pieces across an astonishing variety of comics, from legendary fantasy anthology Heavy Metal to anarchic DC superhero series Lobo, and has an even more extensive CV in Europe, where his painted style enjoys enormous success.
Glenn Fabry is a classic 2000AD artist, best known for his innovative and highly detailed work on “Slaine”, though he has also illustrated “Judge Dredd” and a “Future Shock”, not to mention part of the Batman/Judge Dredd crossover story “Die Laughing”. Fabry’s best-known work outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is almost certainly the full run of covers he painted for Preacher. However, his career is split between covers and sequential work, and he ahs also contributed to A1, The Authority, Global Frequency, Hellblazer, The Scarab, Swamp Thing and Transmetropolitan.

She left Earth ten years ago and has been seeking other ex-pat humans — but Cyd discovered that she’d been contaminated by the Tankinar, turning her into a cyborg.

Dan Abnett is a seven-times New York Times bestselling author and an award-winning comic book writer.

In comics, he is known for his work on The Legion of Super-Heroes, Aquaman, The Titans, Nova, Wild’s End, and The New Deadwardians.

He has also written extensively for the games industry, including Shadow of Mordor and Alien:Isolation. Dan lives and works in the UK. Follow him on Twitter @VincentAbnett

He also contributed a story to the Megazine’s Durham Red-based The Scarlet Apocrypha series, and — rare for a 2000 AD artist — has even written two Pulp Sci-Fi stories!

The Year was 1967, The War was Vietnam…
When his Navy pilot son’s plane goes missing during a bombing raid over the Vietnamese jungle, Walter Mann goes on a personal mission to find him. A highly decorated veteran, Colonel Mann must venture deep into Viet Cong territory, while the CIA attempt to stop him from uncovering a terrifying secret…
This complete, action-packed story was one of the first comics to ever cover the subject of the Vietnam War on the printed page. Published in the weekly comic Battle only a few years after the fall of Saigon in 1975, “Fighting Mann” is a hard-hitting and genuine exploration of the follies of this very modern war…
Between Alan’s script and Cam Kennedy’s dynamic art Fighting Mann, first published in issues of Battle cover dated 12th July 1980 to 19th September 1981, running to 60 episodes and some 182 pages of high octane action, is considered by its many fans to be one of the best, most underrated war stories of all time to appear in British comics.
It was such a popular strip, in fact, that it should come as no surprise to learn it was reprinted later in Battle’s run, in 1987 through to 1988, and eventually first collected in 2016, in Titan’s Garth Ennis Presents… Battle Classics Volume Two – “Fighting Mann” & “War Dog”.

DARKNESS DESCENDS ON ‘THE BIG MEG!’
Mega-City One, 2147 AD. Home to over 250 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the toxic Black Atlantic on one side and the irradiated wasteland the Cursed Earth to the west. Crime is rampant and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!
The city Fathers, spectral entities from the old world, plan on returning, staking their claim to the land and placing Mega-City One in grave danger. But Judge Dredd has been told that he won’t be there to help save it. He is destined to end up at The Oubliette; a prison that has a reputation for being the worst place in the universe…
A Forces brat, Kenneth Niemand’s first exposure to the world of Judge Dredd was through random copies of 2000AD circulating in various RAF bases around the world. He now writes radio comedy, video games and, increasingly, bits and pieces of the world of Judge Dredd.
Nick Percival has worked on a variety of cross-media projects; following Judge Dredd ‘Goodnight Kiss’, he painted the Sláine’s epic ‘King of Hearts’ for 2000 AD, worked at Marvel Comics, in film pre-production, MTV, Wizards of the Coast, in video games design and directing computer animation.
Dan Cornwell’s big break came in 2014 when John Wagner and Alan Grant spotted his work and offered him the chance to illustrate a new sci-fi comic called Rok of the Reds. Since then he’s worked on major characters for 2000AD and Judge Dredd The Megazine, including Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, Major Eazy, Missionary Man and many others. Other works include the critically acclaimed sequel to Rok of the Reds – Rok the God, Spector, and H.M.S Nightshade, all written by John Wagner.
Tom Foster is a relatively new face in the comics world. He is best known for his work in 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, but he has also produced work for Imagine FX, Disconnected Press and satirical activists, The Yes Men. He has worked on Death Game for the revival of Battle Action, and drawn the Judge Dredd: A Penitent Man graphic novel.
Richard Elson’s first 2000 AD work was on a Future Shock way back in 1988, and since then he has pencilled Judge Dredd, Time Twisters, Terror Tales and Tyranny Rex, as well as the co-created strips Atavar, Roadkill, Shadows, The Scrap, A.H.A.B., Go-Machine and Kingdom. He has also worked for Marvel Comics on Thor, Morbius: The Living Vampire, Amazing Spider-Man, Journey Into Mystery, X-Force, Revolutionary War and Marvel Zombies.

The Haunting of Sector House 9 collects the classic chilling tale by Dredd co-creator John Wagner, Alan Grant, and Brett Ewins, as well as a brand-new sequel story penned by horror writer-director Ben Wheatley (Kill List, A Field in England) and drawn by Simon Coleby (The Royals: Masters of War).
John Wagner has been scripting for 2000AD for more years than he cares to remember. His creations include Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Ace Trucking, Al’s Baby, Button Man and Mean Machine. Outside of 2000AD his credits include Star Wars, Lobo, The Punisher and the critically acclaimed A History of Violence.
With over 300 2000AD stories to his name – not to mention over 250 Daily Star “Judge Dredd” strips – the late Alan Grant’s prolific creative record speaks for itself. Outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Grant is well-known to Batman fans following a lengthy run on various incarnations of the title. He also adapted Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novels Kidnapped and Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Graphic Novel format with artist Cam Kennedy.
Since his “Future Shock” debut in Prog 37, the late Brett Ewins became one of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’s most beloved artists. Co-creator of the classic Bad Company, Ewins has also contributed to “A.B.C. Warriors”, Daily Star “Judge Dredd”, “Judge Anderson”, “Judge Dredd”, “Kelly”, “Mega-City One”, “Rogue Trooper”, “Ro-Jaws”, “Robo-Tales” and “Universal Soldier”. Beyond 2000AD, Ewins was a co-founding editor of Deadline magazine, and co-pencilled and inked the hugely acclaimed Skreemer series, which he co-created with writer Peter Milligan. He also created Johnny Nemo.
After starting his career as an inker at Marvel UK, Simon Coleby made his debut at 2000AD in 1989, working on “Future Shocks”, “Universal Soldier” and “Rogue Trooper”. A favourite amongst 2000AD fans, he has gone on to illustrate “Judge Dredd”, “Low Life” and “Jaegir”. Simon has also produced work for Games Workshop, DC Comics and Vertigo, for whom he co-created The Royals: Masters of War with fellow 2000AD alumni, Rob Williams.

Judge Dredd as drawn by Simon Bisley is like nothing you have seen before, this oversized collection of hilarious, and out-of-continuity, stories is a feast for the eyes.
These heavy metal tales of bikers and rockers in Mega-City One meeting the ultimate lawman, Judge Dredd are soaked in The Biz’s imagination and artistic irreverence as he pushed the boundaries of what, and how, he was allowed to draw!
Written by John Wagner (A History of Violence) and Alan Grant (Strontium Dog) and featuring the striking full-colour art of Simon Bisley (Sláine), this collection of hardcore mayhem packs a mighty punch!
Date To Be Announced…
Rebellion dropped a trailer for their first “Kelly’s Eye” collection into the third Janus Stark collection, but no release date has been announced. We still hope…
