Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke), McMahon (The Last American),  Gibbons (Watchmen), and O’Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) are just some of the incredible talent to return for Prog 2000, which will feature the first sequential comics work by Bolland for 2000 AD since 1987, as well as a brand new series by Peter Milligan (X-StatixHellblazer) and a poster featuring specially commissioned artwork.

First hitting the racks in 1977, the cult UK sci-fi anthology title quickly became a globally influential bestseller, launching the careers of some of the industry’s most famous talents and proving instrumental in shaping contemporary comics.

Prog 2000 will be available with three variant covers – newsstand customers will be able to choose between covers by Cliff Robinson and Chris Burnham, while a special Glenn Fabry wraparound cover will be exclusively available through comic book stores via Diamond Distribution.

Comic book stores using Diamond will also be able to take advantage of a buy-one-get-one-free offer to double their offering for what will be a highly sought after issue.

The incredible line-up for Prog 2000 includes:

  • A special one-off Judge Dreddstory from creators John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra
  • Pat Mills and Kevin O’Neill reunite for a special Nemesis the Warlockstory
  • Psi-Judge Anderson has another psychic case from Alan Grant and David Roach
  • Sinister Dexterhit the road, courtesy of Dan Abnett and Mark Sexton

  • Brand-new identity-theft thriller Counterfeit Girlby Peter Milligan and Rufus Dayglo debuts.
  • Plus, interlude pages from Brian Bolland, Mick McMahon, Dave Gibbons, Robin Smith, and more.

2000 AD Prog 2000 will be available from UK comic book stores and newsagents on 28 September, as well as from North American comic book stores via Diamond Distribution, and in print and digital from the 2000 AD online shop and apps.
