2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine publisher and acclaimed independent multimedia studio, Rebellion, has launched new officially licensed products in partnership with the world’s largest cult entertainment retailer, Forbidden Planet.
Based on legendary comic book series, 2000AD, the new products, available now, include clothing, homeware and accessories.
2000AD is one of the longest-running and most celebrated comics in the world today. First published in 1977, “The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic” will celebrate fifty years of publication in 2027, having sold millions of comics for fans around the world.
Forbidden Planet’s latest products feature the iconic 2000AD character, Judge Dredd, ultimate lawman of Mega-City One. Judge Dredd acts as judge, jury, and executioner in a future dystopia, enforcing order across a vast police state and its crime-ridden streets.
“Our new wave of 2000AD merchandise with Forbidden Planet is the latest in a series of launches focused on building out fan-first products,” says Victoria Justice, Consumer Products & Ecommerce Director at Rebellion.
“Rebellion is working hard to cultivate partnerships with the most trusted and respected entertainment retailers – giving our community more opportunities than ever to engage with their favourite universes. We look forward to future collaboration with Forbidden Planet in 2026 and beyond.”
Products are now available at Forbidden Planet stores in many major UK cities, including the famous London Megastore on Shaftesbury Avenue – grab some when you’re at the upcoming Battle-Action signing! – and Megastores in Bristol and Southampton.
Founded in 1992, Rebellion is one of the world’s most successful independent studios. Its flagship Sniper Elite series is renowned for its authentic stealth and sniping gameplay with more than 50 million players worldwide. Most recently Rebellion released Sniper Elite: Resistance in January 2025 and the critically acclaimed Atomfall, a new IP, in March. 2000AD is synonymous with the absolute finest in British comic book art. With the acquisition of a $100m film studio and the world’s largest archive of English language comics, Rebellion continues to grow from strength to strength.
Rebellion now operates across books, comics, TV and film, but at its core it’s still a leading developer and publisher of games. Whether it’s the breath-taking intensity of Sniper Elite, the face-hugging terror of Aliens vs. Predator or the grindhouse frenzy of the Zombie Army series, the Oxford-based studio is revered for creating stand-out games designed to thrill.
