Judge Dredd Megazine #463 out now

Judge Dredd Megazine #463 is OUT NOW!

We round out 2023 with another packed Megazine, capping a high-octane twelve months!

The current arc of Lawless wraps up in spectacular fashion with a double-length finale as Lawson leads the assault on Fugly’s mansion, plus Johnny Red also comes to a close. Elsewhere, there’s a seasonal sequel to last year’s Dollman story as Dredd finds himself dealing once again with L’il Tommy Kinder and his nefarious schemes, courtesy of Ken Niemand and Paul Marshall, and we have the latest instalments of DeMarco, P.I. and Spector.

Also complete this issue is Judge Dredd: Deviations by John McCrea, a ‘what if…?’ one-off originally published by IDW that looks at what would’ve happened if Ol’ Stoney-Face stayed as a lycanthrope after the events of Cry of the Werewolf.

Add to that chats with artists Mike Collins and Gary Welsh, there’s a spotlight on the late Oliver Frey, artist on many an eighties computer-mag cover as well as Trigan Empire, and Rufus Hound reveals his Squaxx credentials as he scripts the Stront story in the Xmas prog. Enjoy the festivities, citizens, and see you in 2024!

Judge Dredd Megazine #463 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!
