Judge Dredd Megazine #473 is OUT NOW!
Next year will mark the thirtieth anniversary of the release of the Stallone Judge Dredd movie, and no doubt you’ve seen the news that Rebellion will be publishing a new edition of the official comics adaptation by Andrew Helfer and Carlos Ezquerra to mark the occasion.
Well, we’re slightly getting ahead of the celebrations with this issue’s Dredd story Lawmen of the Future by Ken Niemand and Dan Cornwell, which acts as a follow-up to Prog 2262’s Trinity, and is not short of more than a few Sly digs. It kicks off a brand-new line-up that commences inside, with the returns of Devlin Waugh, Lawless and Death Cap, plus Eartha Fargo and One-Eyed Jack McBane reunite after last year’s One-Eyed Jacks story for their very own series, courtesy of Niemand and Anna Readman, who won the Observer graphic short story competition while she was in the middle of drawing this at the tail-end of 2023.
Karl Stock chats to her about her burgeoning comics career, plus there’s interviews with Joe Currie, Anna Morozova and the creators behind the new Scream! special. All this, plus a brand-new Cadet Rico series and much more! Enjoy, citizens…
Judge Dredd Megazine #473 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that if you buy an issue of the Megazine in the first month of its release then postage in the UK is free!
