PROG 2270 out now
BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2270 is OUT NOW!
Welcome to a bumper issue of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic this week, Terrans, as we celebrate an incredible forty-five years channelling Thrill-power.
It’s a remarkable achievement for a newsstand title to have weathered four and a half decades and still be here producing scrotnig stories every seven days, and it’s testament to the ghafflebette talents of our droids — script, art, lettering, colourists, editorial — that 2000 AD is globally renowned as one of the most important and influential anthologies to have been beamed into your reality.
And of course we wouldn’t be here without you loyal Squaxx so this prog we’re marking the forty-fifth milestone with new Thrills in Dredd and Brink, ongoing adventure in Proteus Vex, The Order and Kingmaker, and a couple of one-offs in Indigo Prime and a special tale from the Command Module.
Alas, some sad news reached us just as this issue was being assembled — ace art-droid Ian Kennedy passed away on 7 February 2022. His zarjaz work on Ro-Busters, Dan Dare and more is rightly legendary, and he will be much missed.

JUDGE DREDD // The Citadel / Part One!
Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Home to over 160 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant and only the Judges — zero-tolerance cops empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!
INDIGO PRIME // Whatever Happened to Mickey Challis?!
The multiverse. There is an infinite number of parallel realities, and all need managing in case of dimensional instability. This is where INDIGO PRIME came in, the multiverse’s troubleshooters, whose agents are trained to deal with space/time catastrophes. Now, IP’s HQ has been destroyed in a cataclysmic event, with most of the personnel lost. Mickey Challis is about to be extracted by IP head Clive Vista…
THE ORDER // Fantastic Voyage / Part Nine!
Throughout history, mankind has been under threat of extermination by the Wurms, creatures that break into our reality. Defending humanity are the men and women of THE ORDER, a band of warriors that have fought the entities across the centuries. But time has become fractured, and now the despotic Francis Bacon is determined to rule a vast empire. Now, the various members of The Order have become separated at the edge of time…
KINGMAKER // Falls The Shadow / Part Seven!
The Nine Kingdoms may have defeated Ichnar the Wraith King to live in relative peace, but they hadn’t reckoned on the Thorn — a race of aliens that occupied their world with the intention of strip-mining its magic. Wizard Ablard, ork Crixus and dryad Princess Yarrow believed they may have the means to stop them — but Ichnar manifested in Ablard, and Crixus and Yarrow were forced to kill him. Ichnar’s spirit escaped…
PROTEUS VEX // Desire Paths / Part Nine!
Another galaxy, the far future. The centuries-long war between the Alliance and the Obdurate people is over, a conflict brought to an end with the deaths of billions when the Alliance teleported a dying white dwarf star into the Obdurate system. Imperium agent PROTEUS VEX — who is operated by a flesh-pilot — has now become an enemy of the Alliance when he released information about past war crimes…
BRINK // Mercury Retrograde / Part One!
The late 21st century, and through environmental catastrophe and industrial overload Earth has been reduced to a wasteland. Mankind finally evacuated the planet in 2072 and millions were housed in a number of deep-space Habitats. But life on these
cramped, overcrowded stations is tense, often spilling over into madness. Sects are rife, and both the Habitat Security Division and certain journalists are investigating …
THARG THE MIGHTY // Stars on 45!
The Nerve Centre, Earth, 2022 AD. Within this fortified bunker nestled in Oxford, Betelgeusian editor THARG THE MIGHTY corrals his creator-droids to bring the planet’s Squaxx the gift of Thrill-power via the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic. He’s been doing this for forty-five years now, and as the anniversary approaches he’s got certain ideas on how to celebrate the milestone event..
