OUT NOW: Judge Dredd Megazine #404

16th January 2019

Judge Dredd Megazine #404 is out now, Earthlets!

Arthur Wyatt and Jake Lynch reunite for the complete Judge Dredd thriller ‘The Red Prince Diaries’, which picks up some plot threads from last year’s Krong Island, and will continue in a few months’ time in ‘The Red Queen’s Gambit’.

Writing duo Leah Moore and John Reppion team up once again with artist Tom Foster for the next Storm Warning series, ‘Green and Pleasant Land’.

Elsewhere, we ahve more edge-of-the-seat excitement in Lawless, Blunt and The Torture Garden, plus a look at what you should be keeping your eyes out for this year, both in terms of new creators to watch and graphic novels that should be taking pride of place on your bookshelves as Rebellion digs deep into its Treasury of British Comics archive.

Don’t miss the Operation: Overlord mini-trade bagged with this issue, either – the first of four English translations of Editions Glénat’s bestselling D-Day GNs, presented under the ‘Battle Presents’ banner.

Judge Dredd Megazine #404 is now available from all good comic book shops and newsagents – as well as 2000 AD’s webshop and apps. It can be ordered from comic book stores via Diamond Distribution using code NOV181943.

Don’t forget that if you buy this issue in print direct from our webshop within the next month you’ll not pay a penny in postage fees in the UK! And if you subscribe to the Megazine you’ll get a FREE print of each month’s cover with each issue!
