With its long history and so many characters to learn to love, the team at 2000AD often get asked by potential new readers and comic book stores when the best time to start reading the comic is.
The answer? This very Wednesday… when the title comes chocka with a clockpunk solar system, trigger-happy cowboys fighting rampaging dinosaurs, harsh justice in a gritty dystopia, and space soldiers fighting for an alien civilisation… there’s never been a better time to jump on board with 2000AD!
This Wednesday (18th September), the legendary weekly anthology comic book starts all-new strips, making Prog 1850 the perfect point for new readers looking to start collecting the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
These four brand new stories featuring some of the top British talent working today – including Al Ewing (Mighty Avengers), Pat Mills (Marshal Law), Ian Edginton (Victorian Undead), and INJ Culbard (The New Deadwardians).
• Available worldwide day-and-date digital through the 2000AD webshop or the iPad app, it’s never been easier to start reading this powerhouse of British comics: www.2000adonline.com
