OUT NOW: 2000 AD Prog 2175
1st April 2020
Prog 2174 sees more new Judge Dredd, Skip Tracer, and Aquila, plus all new Survival Geeks, and one more new strip…
BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2175 is OUT NOW!
Following on from the start of a new series of Aquila last prog, we have a further two new stories commencing this issue alongside more Dredd and Skip Tracer!
First up, there’s the return of Survival Geeks for their final ever adventure in Crisis of Infinite Nerds, brought to you by the regular team of Gordon Rennie, Emma Beeby and Neil Googe.
As for the second story, well, we’ll leave you Squaxx to discover that one for yourselves further down the page… BEWARE: SPOILERS!
On another note, we find ourselves in strange and unsettling times, with countries all over your planet in lockdown thanks to a rampant coronavirus. We have to say that in our fortythree years upon this world we have never witnessed such global disruption and a health emergency quite like this.
The Galaxy’s Greatest has dealt with speculative pandemics before — the terrifying Dredd epic Day of Chaos springs to mind — but they’ve been rooted thankfully in fiction.
Now, as our species tackles one of its own, we can only marvel at the bravery and brilliance of the medical and scientific minds working night and day to combat it — especially in the UK, the NHS is something to be cherished and given thanks for. We doff my Rosette of Sirius to them all.
Enjoy, Squaxx!

JUDGE DREDD // Hair of the Dog // Part Two
Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Home to over 130 million citizens, this urban hell is situated
along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated wasteland
known as the Cursed Earth to the west. Unemployment is rife, boredom universal and
crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can
stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!
SKIP TRACER // Nimrod / Part Five
The Cube, the 27th century. This vast city floating in the depths of space was once a
monitoring station, but has been refitted by the Earth-led Consociation as a solution
to a universal housing problem. It’s now home to every kind of undesirable and wanted
criminal. That’s where SKIP TRACER Nolan Blake comes in, a former soldier turned
tracker, who, after a battlefield injury, was left with powerful psi-abilities…
AQUILA // The Burning Fields // Part Two
Following Spartacus’s failed revolt against his Roman masters, his rebel army was
crucified. Amongst these was the slave-turned-gladiator AQUILA, who cried out to the
gods for vengeance — and was answered by Ammit the Devourer, a deity that gifted
him with immortality in return for keeping her fed with evil men’s souls. Now, Aquila
wants to be released from Ammit’s bond, and is hunting for clues to her location…
SURVIVAL GEEKS // Crisis of Infinite Nerds / Part One
Somewhere in the outer limits of space/time, plunging through the planes of reality,
is what looks like a regular suburban two-up two-down, but it is in fact powered by
misfiring transdimensional technology. Inside live sci-fi obsessives Clive, Rufus and
Simon, plus reluctant housemate Sam and pet Cthulhu Howard: explorers on the edge
of beyond, they’re never far from trouble on the worlds they visit…
HERSHEY // Disease / Part One
Judge Barbara Hershey was one of Justice Department’s most respected and capable young officers before she became Chief Judge. Leading the city through numerous challenges, she only occasionally clashed with Dredd — until the ‘Small House’ affair and the revelation of Judge Smiley’s clandestine operations on her watch. Now, though, a microbial virus has seen Hershey resign, and her health suffer to the point of death…
