The second printing of 2000 AD’s sold-out landmark 40th anniversary special edition is to go on sale on 22nd March!
This special reprint is now available to pre-order from 2000 AD‘s webshop and comic book stores.
It features a new take on the massively popular Judge Dredd cover by Hawkeye artist David Aja from the first print run. This ‘virgin’ cover is stripped of cover-lines, putting Aja’s striking visual front and centre alongside 2000 AD’s iconic logo.
Comic book stores can order the new Aja variant using code and description DEC167600 – 2000 AD 40TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL 2ND PRINT AJA COVER
There is also a limited edition featuring a new variant cover by world-renowned artist Jock, based on the uniform from the 2012 DREDD movie, and exclusively available through Forbidden Planet and Dublin’s Big Bang Comics.
