OUT NOW: 2000 AD Prog 2079

2nd May 2018

Welcome to your future, Earthlets — 2000 AD Prog 2079 is out now!

2079 also happened to be the year Judge Joe Dredd graduated from the Academy of Law, so to celebrate the occasion we asked the Mick McMahon droid to draw a zarjaz cover showing the lawman as one of the last men standing of his fellow cadets some sixty-one years later.

The subject of age and not going gently into that good night also comes into play in this issue’s new Dredd thriller Nans of Anarchy by Alec Worley and Karl Richardson as the Betty White motorcycle club The Valkyries seek to save their ailing block and its aged residents. 

Elsewhere, the Abnett and Yeowell droids channel the old Air Ace Picture Library titles with the latest Sinister Dexter adventure The Gangbusters, there’s more action in Strontium Dog and the penultimate episode of Anderson, Psi-Division, and we have a
complete Future Shock from Martin Feekins and Joe Palmer!

2000 AD Prog 2079 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!
