Another terrific issue of Zarjaz – Issue 30 – is on sale now, wrapped in a great cover from Dan Cornwell. The 48-page 2000AD-inspired not-for-profit zine positively crackles with talent – and I’m not just talking about “Judge Pigg” by Rich McAuliffe and Mick Cassidy here. Despite their protestations, I really can see a return for this very silly and funny character.
In this issue from Futurequake Press:
Devlin Waugh – “Somebody that I used to know” by writer Kevin McHugh and artist Lorenzo Nicoletta
Judge Dredd – “Descendants” by writers Robomonkey147. & Colin Clayton and artist Robomonkey147
Judge Dredd – “Interrogation” by writer Gavin Johnston and artist Aaron Murphy
Judge Dredd – “No Good Deed” by Edward Whatley
Judge Dredd – “Spare the Rod” by writer Alan Holloway and artist Dan Goodfellow
“Judge Pigg” by writer Rich McAuliffe and artist Mick Cassidy
“Tales of Mega-City One – Madhouse Bop” by writer Santiago Mayaud and artist JP Vilchis
