OUT NOW: 2000 AD Prog 2074

28th March 2018

We know what you’re thinking, Earthlets – 2000 AD Prog 2074 is out now!

Hopefully, your circuits are fully recovered from last prog’s scrotnig onslaught, for you’re about to get hit again by the second instalments of the latest line-up with more ghafflebette goodness from Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Anderson, Psi-Division, Sinister Dexter and Jaegir!

All of this behind a cover from art-droid Emily Zeinner, making her debut for the House of Tharg (rather shockingly, only the second woman after Angie Kincaid back in 1983 to have drawn a cover for 2000 AD!). You can hear Emily talking about her debut at San Diego Comic Con last year on the 2000 AD podcast – she’s amongst a bunch of talented new creators that you’ll be seeing more of over the course of 2018!

2000 AD Prog 2074 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps!

And don’t forget that if you buy an issue of 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage to locations in the UK is free!

Judge Dredd » Fit for Purpose
by Rob Williams (w) Chris Weston (a) Dylan Teague (c) Annie Parkhouse (l)
Mega-City One, 2140 AD. Home to 72 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, where crime is rampant. Only the zero-tolerance Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, the psychopathic Judge Pin of the SJS has demanded that Dredd’s ally Gerhart face a tribunal to determine his effectiveness…

Jaegir » In The Realm Of Pyrrhus
by Gordon Rennie (w) Simon Coleby (a) Len O’Grady (c) Ellie De Ville (l)
The Greater Nordland Republic. While the Norts are currently engaged in a galaxy-wide war with the Souther forces, it falls to military officers such as Kapiten-Inspector Atalia JAEGIR of the Nordland State Security Police to investigate war criminals amongst her own ranks. She’s also suffering from the Strigoi curse, a fault in the Nort DNA that can bring out the beast within. Now, she’s on a mission with her team to Nu Earth…

Sinister Dexter » Night Class
by Dan Abnett (w) Steve Yeowell (a) John Charles (c) Ellie De Ville (l)
Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER are the best hitmen money can buy in the future city of Downlode. Having spent the last year offworld hunting for Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension whose presence threatened the fabric of reality, they’ve returned home, and are getting back to business. But whacking Tanenbaum has reset the continuum, meaning no one knows who they are…

by Emma Beeby (w) David Roach (a) Jose Villarrubia (c) Simon Bowland (l)

and now she and Judge Flowers are investigating a supernatural threat that is affecting
all of Psi-Div’s operatives, to the point where they are now being considered hostile…

Strontium Dog » The Son

Late 22nd century. After the Atomic Wars, many survivors were warped by the Strontium 90 fallout. These ‘mutants’ became a victimised underclass, forced into ghettos, and the only job open to them was bounty hunting. One such Search/Destroy agent, or STRONTIUM DOG, is Johnny Alpha, who recently led a mutant revolt against the norms. Now, the Doghouse has reopened for business, and Alpha’s been partnered with Kenton Sternhammer, son of his old Viking pal Wulf, on a job on Protoz…
