2000 AD Prog 2402 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2402 is OUT NOW!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS! I am The Mighty Tharg, your genial green guide to all that is ghafflebette — welcome to 2000 AD!

The zarjaz line-up that commenced last prog continues in another issue pulsing with Thrillpower, as the plots thicken in Rogue Trooper, Brink, Nightmare New York and The Out, while the Judge Dredd two-hander Silence draws to a close (but the Williams, Wyatt and Lynch droids will reunite for a new story at the beginning of next year). Yes, October is looking pretty, pretty scrotnig from where I’m standing — and since I’m always standing at the threshold of cuttingedge graphic entertainment, I know what I’m talking about!

Alas, such commitment to the very finest in future fiction, brought to you by some of the most talented creator droids to have been constructed by the expert metallurgists of Quaxxann, doesn’t come without a cost — and unfortunately the rising overheads of shuttle delivery have meant that the GGC’s cover price had to rise by twenty pence last week.

But don’t forget that you can save groats by taking out a dual physical subscription, and you’ll have access to all manner of special offers. Check out the deets, my Squaxx, at shop.2000AD.com!

2000 AD Prog 2402 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 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!
