Out today is 2000AD Prog 2225, with a great cover by Tom Foster, offering no less than three new stories in a pulse-pounding issue of the Galaxy’sGreatest Comic.
Judge Dredd has his bionic eye on a newly arrived Titan inmate in “A Penitent Man” by Ken Niemand and Tom Foster; Kek-W and Dave Kendall’s “Visions of Deadworld” strand is back, kicking off with a fiery tale entitled “You Give Me Fever”; and John Tomlinson and Anna Readman collaborate on a complete “Terror Tale”, in which Aaron Doplo is attacked by a mystery assailant, but he’s only the first victim. More soon follow…
Add to that the latest instalments of “Thistlebone” and “Feral & Foe”, all helping 2000AD raise its profile, and, says Tharg, boost subscription numbers.
Don’t forget the latest Judge Dredd Megazine (Issue 430) is still on sale, too – and April is a busy month for new book releases, both physical and digital, with plenty of downthetubes readers looking forward to the release of The Spider’s Syndicate of Crime (and the collected The Vigilant, both on sale from 15th April.
