Judge Dredd Megazine #462 is OUT NOW!

Former Judge turned Private Investigator Galen DeMarco returns this issue after a four-year absence with a new case, A Picture Paints, by Laura Bailey and Rob Richardson, plus we have a complete Dredd thriller from Ian Edginton and Mike Collins, another flashback to Mega-City 2099 in The Multitronic Man by Arthur Wyatt and Jake Lynch, and Lawless hits the penultimate episode of its current arc (don’t miss the double-length finale next issue!).

Elsewhere, PJ Holden is coincidentally the artist on two book projects we turn the spotlight on this month – he collaborates with John Reppion on Fascinating Folklore, an around-the-world guide to various legends, and he also illustrates the first Skulduggery Pleasant graphic novel, Bad Magic, scripted by the YA series’ creator Derek Landy.

Plus we chat to Rob Williams and Pye Parr about their new Image comic Petrol Head, and regular Meg contributor Karl Stock lifts the lid on Comic Book Punks, his unmissable look at the writers, artists and editors that shaped the creative comics boom from the mid seventies to the early nineties. All that and annuals are back! Enjoy, citizens, enjoy…

Judge Dredd Megazine #462 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 the Megazine in the first month of its release then postage in the UK is free!

JUDGE DREDD / OLD SOLDIERS

Mega-City One, 2145 AD. This vast urban hell on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America is home to over 200 million citizens, with the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west and the toxic Black Atlantic to the east. Crime is rampant, and stemming the tide of chaos are the Judges. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd – he is the Law!


Script: John Wagner / Art: Dan Cornwell / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Jim Campbell

SPECTOR / INCORRUPTIBLE, Part Eight

In a near-future US city, corruption within the branches of government has reached unsustainable levels. City Hall is rotten to the core, and the police force is equally on the take. To that end, Spector is created, a robot detective – beyond bribery and untainted by potential malfeasance – charged with rooting out criminal elements. But the android inspector is making many enemies…


Script: Arthur Wyatt / Art: Jake Lynch / Letters: Jim Campbell

MEGA-CITY 2099 / THE MULTITRONIC MAN

Mega-City One, 2099 AD. Before the Judges took complete control of the metropolis, there were two strands of law enforcement – regular uniformed cops did much of the day-to-day policing, while the helmeted Judges were called upon to pass judgement on certain criminals, their vested powers giving them the ability to dispense on-the-spot sentences…


Script: Brian Buckley / Art: Alberto Ponticelli / Colours: Stephen Downer / Letters: Tom B. Long

ROGUE TROOPER / Part four

Nu-Earth, just another planet ravaged by a galaxy-wide war, its atmosphere poisoned by chemical weapons. Created to fight in such conditions were the G.I.s – genetically engineered infantrymen. But now only one remains, the man known as… Rogue Trooper!


Script: Garth Ennis / Art: Keith Burns / Colour: Jason Wordie / Letters: Rob Steen

JOHNNY RED / Part Seven

Legendary British fighter ace, Johnny ‘Red’ Redburn, returns once more as the commander of the Falcons – a Russian fighter squadron battling the Nazis in the skies over Stalingrad. But dogfighting Messerschmitts is about to become the least of his troubles when the NVKD – the notorious Soviet secret police – come calling!


Script: Laura Bailey / Art: Rob Richardson / Letters: Simon Bowland

DEMARCO, PI: A PICTURE PAINTS, Part One

Mega-City One, 2145 AD. Galen DeMarco was once a Judge, a rising star operating out of the corrupt dumping ground that was Sector House 301. But she quit the force after one romantic indiscretion too many and set herself up as a private investigator. Now, a recent case that ended with her fighting for her life has left her scarred, but ready to take on new clients…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Phil Winslade / Letters: Simon Bowland

LAWLESS / MOST WANTED, Part Seven

Colonial Marshal Metta Lawson was appointed to the frontier township of Badrock on the planet 43 Rega, intent on stamping her authority on the colony.

Now, she’s revealed that she’s been working undercover, and is leading a raid against Fugly’s outfit…
