OUT NOW: Judge Dredd Megazine #395

He’s surfing in on a brand new wave – Chopper is back!

The fan-favourite character returns to the Megazine this issue for his first series in the mag since Earth, Wind & Fire commenced in the very first issue way back in October 1990.

Writer David Baillie and artist Brendan McCarthy have relocated Chop to the Oz Radback, where he faces a threat that will affect the Dreamtime itself – prepare for a psychedelic Shakespeare story like none you’ve ever seen before…

Elsewhere, Krong Island comes to its apetastic finale, plus there’s more blistering action in Cursed Earth Koburn, The Returners and DREDD – and in addition we have a bonus Razorjack prologue tale from Mike Carroll and John Higgins that acts as a taster for next month’s main event: a titanic tussle between the Mega-City lawman and the murderous hell-beast herself!

Don’t forget that if you buy this issue in print direct from 2000 AD‘s webshop within the next month you’ll not pay a penny in postage fees in the UK!

And if you subscribe to the Megazine you’ll get a FREE print of each month’s cover with each issue!

Judge Dredd Megazine #395 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps!
