Judge Dredd Megazine #470 is OUT NOW!
We’re well into the holiday season, so that can only mean it’s time for Summer Specials to accompany you on your travels. By now I hope you’ve all picked up the alt-universe 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special, and hitting the shelves right now is the 2024 Misty special, which sees US comics writer Gail Simone craft a trio of chilling tales with artists such as Aly Fell and Carola Borelli. You can take a peak into the creation of this spooktacular issue elsewhere in this typically packed Meg.
We’ve also got chats with some of the writers and artists behind the new Regened strips, such as Ned Hartley and Mike Walters, and a sneaky peek at the new strips that will be appearing under the all-ages banner. Elsewhere, there’s a new Dredd thriller courtesy of Ian Edginton and US artist Kevin West, making his debut for the House of Tharg, and another complete Mega-City 2099 tale from Ken Niemand and Tom Foster, joining Armitage, Dreadnoughts and Harrower Squad.
Be here in thirty for the conclusion to all these stories as we wrap up the current roster in time for a special crossover event coming your way in September – the multiversethreatening Nordland Rising!
Judge Dredd Megazine #470 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 // HIVE
Mega-City One, 2146 AD. This vast urban hell on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North
America is home to over 200 million citizens, bordered by the irradiated Cursed Earth to the
west and the toxic Black Atlantic to the east. Tensions run a knife-edge and crime is rampant.
Stemming the tide of chaos are the Judges. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd – he is the Law!
MEGA-CITY 2099 //NU-YOO
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…
ARMITAGE // BULLETS FOR AN OLD MAN, Part Four
Brit-Cit, 2146 AD. While the UK equivalent of Mega-City One has its own Judge force, it’s retained its CID plainclothes division, of which Detective Inspector Armitage was one of its veteran officers. Now a consultant, Armitage hasn’t lost his surly demeanour and distrust of authority – and the case he’s been brought on to has links to his past…
PANDORA PERFECT in PERFECT SOUNDS, Part Two
When criminal genius, sometimes babysitter and all round bad ‘un Pandora Perfect is broken out of prison by her faithful robot Gort, no one’s valuables are safe! Pandora and Gort set out on the heist of their lives, stealing fabulous jewels, pickpocketing guffwarblers, and more besides!
DEPARTMENT K // MECHA-CITY ONE, Part Two
Tech Whizz Cadet Afua is the newest intern at Mega-City One’s Department K. A team made up of geeks, robots and misfits, their job is to protect our dimension at all costs! For beyond the fabric of reality lies a multitude of multiverses and monsters, determined to reach our world…
JUDGE DREDD // TOXIC, Part Three
Dredd’s investigation into the death of a seemingly unremarkable sewage worker spirals into a waste management crisis that could destroy all of Mega-City One, which has long used genetic modification on its waste workers to control the deluge of filth that flows under the city each days. When Dredd discovers that some of them have foregone that disfiguring procedure in favor of hosting protective alien symbiotes, it sparks a groundswell of anti-immigration fervor…
HARROWER SQUAD / URBAN ROTATION, Part Three
Cal-Hab, 2146 AD. This wild area north of Brit-Cit has become notorious as a dumping ground for
the world’s radioactive waste, and as a consequence much of it outside the major conurbations
such as Glascal is an inhospitable wasteland populated by mutant tribes. Patrolling the
wilderness are heavy-weapons Judge teams like Harrower Squad…
DREADNOUGHTS / NOTHING TO FEAR, Part Three
USA, 2035 AD. The new Justice Department is still in its early years, with Judges working alongside the police. It’s proving an explosive transition, with many citizens – and more than a few cops – unhappy with these helmeted officers taking to the streets. Boulder, Colorado, has been a recent flashpoint, and now the Judges’ influence is spreading wider…
