With just weeks to go before the keystone of the comic book convention calendar, Britain’s 2000AD is gearing for San Diego Comic Con with a host of exclusive posters and T-shirts.

Publishers rebellion have also announced their special guest for the event will be Judge Dredd artist Henry Flint, who is drawing the hotly-anticipated comic book sequel to last year’s DREDD film. He will be signing and sketching at the booth throughout the weekend.

Earthlets should visit Booth #2806 for exclusive limited edition comic art posters by Flint, as well as limited-edition Judge Dredd and Zenith T-shirts!

The booth will also feature the latest North American and British graphic novel collections from 2000AD, as well as some of the incredible licensed replica merchandise available from Planet Replicas, including custom Judge badges and keyrings.

2000AD will also be teaming up with a IDW for a special panel on the Saturday of SDCC from 1.00pm in Room Nine. IDW’s Dirk Wood and Chris Ryall, will join creators Duane Swierczynski, Henry Flint and John Higgins, plus others, for a drokkin’ good time discussing everyone’s favorite Mega-City One Judge.
