By John Freeman on May 21, 2022

The new 2000AD Sci-Fi Special is available to pre-order now.

Marking 2000AD’s 45th birthday, 2022’s summer special, with a cover by Luke Preece, has a musical theme as the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic continues to celebrate 45 Revolutions Per Minute with Comic Rock!

Out on 13th July, available from all good comic shops, and elsewhere, this thrill-packed special features stories inspired by each writers’ favourite song. Judge Dredd is targeted by a disillusioned fellow Judge in a new story by Mike Carroll and Stewart K. Moore, while Paul Cornell and Emma Vieceli take Psi-Judge Anderson into the mind of a mysterious psychic perp. Dan Abnett’s hitmen Sinister Dexter encounter a gun with special properties, and Kek-W and Steven Austin drop Judge Death in the middle of a Block War; Karl Stock and Warren Pleece sink their teeth into the Fiends of the Eastern Front; and David Baillie and VV Glass take on everyone’s lumpen mutant bounty hunter Middenface McNulty – plus more!
