Are you finding that your weekly Thrill-fix is becoming a beacon of solace in an otherwise troubling seven days, Terrans? An oasis of graphic excitement from which to escape the grim news updates?
Well, that’s what we’re here for — to provide you with the required circuit-shattering entertainment into which you can disappear and for a brief time lose yourselves in other worlds.
This pulse-pounding prog is no exception, featuring as it does the latest zarjaz instalments of Survival Geeks, Skip Tracer, Aquila and Hershey, plus the start of a new Dredd thriller Chimpsky’s Law by the Niemand and Holden droids, which sees the return of a certain intelligent ape, who’s always looking out for his neighbours (even if it means circumventing the attention of Justice Department).
Yes, plenty here to engage your imaginations, our dear Squaxx — and don’t forget that if you need your funny-bones tickled, seek out the Cor!! Buster Easter Special, which you can order direct from shop.2000AD.com.
It’s jam-packed with classic characters like Sweeny Toddler, Faceache, Kid Kong, Frankie Stein and many more in all-new stories by contemporary creators!

JUDGE DREDD // Chimpsky’s Law / Part One
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 Eight
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 Five
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 Four

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 Four
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…
