The secrets behind some of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’s covers will be revealed in a brand new annual, 2000AD Covers Uncovered, from 2000AD publisher Rebellion, on sale next month.

Every week, 2000AD Covers Uncovered takes readers of the weekly comic’s official website behind-the-scenes on the covers of both 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine.
From idea to pencils, from inks to colours, 2000AD Covers Uncovered reveals the processes behind the jaw-dropping, genre-defining art that graces the covers of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comics.
2000AD Covers Uncovered is a new annual, collecting the artwork for every 2000AD and Megazine cover from a single year – in this case, 2021 – in a square-bound bookazine format.

Each cover is presented without logos and cover furniture, allowing readers to savour each image in all its glory. Alongside, step-by-step images such as wireframes, pencils, inks, and inspiration are presented alongside commentary from the artists themselves, providing fascinating detail about the process behind their covers.
Written and curated by blogger Richard Bruton, the 2000AD Covers Uncovered Annual 2021 is not only an enthralling collection of stellar art but also an indispensable insight into the artistic process.
