OUT TODAY: 2000 AD Prog 1993
10th August 2016
Come get your latest ghafflebette Thrill-power fix with 2000 AD Prog 1993!
Another barnstorming thirty-two pages of brainblistering excitement for you, all wrapped in a cover by ODY-C artist and new cover droid Christian Ward.
Alongside the zarjaz drama of Judge Dredd, Scarlet Traces and Outlier, two new series join the line-up this prog — there’s the start of another Tharg’s 3riller, this time from Rory McConville and Colin MacNeil, as we enter the head-tripping, explosive world of Mindmine.
Meanwhile, also dealing with the interior of people’s skulls is Psi-Judge Anderson as she’s embroiled in the political machinations of the Mega-City One mayoral election. If you thought twenty-first century campaigns could get down n’ dangerous, you haven’t witnessed anything until you read The Candidate by Emma Beeby and Nick Dyer! If you’ve missed some of Cass’s most recent cases over in the Megazine, then make sure you pick up volume five of The Psi-Files, which is out this month. Featuring work by Alan Grant, Arthur Ranson, Boo Cook, Dave Taylor and more, it’s a psi-chedelic collection starring more giant robots, evil houses and demonic entities than you can shake a Lawgiver at!
2000 AD Prog 1993 is available now in both print and digital from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally through the zarjaz 2000 AD apps for Apple, Android, and Windows 10 devices!
