Preview: Slaughter Bowl by John Smith and Paul Peart!
19th May 2021
We’re very excited to share a preview of Slaughter Bowl, the next title in our series of digital-only 2000 AD collections!
First appearing in Progs 842-849 as part of the 1993 Summer Offensive, this legendary, unforgettable strip features a futuristic sport where criminals ride dinosaurs while trying to gun each other down using some seriously heavy machinery.
The story follows allegedly mild-mannered Stanley Modest, who’s been convicted of mass murder, as he enters the deadly battle-royale that is the Slaughter Bowl!
You can check out the first four pages of Slaughter Bowl below, and it’s out on June 2nd – available from the 2000 AD app, as DRM-free download from the 2000 AD webshop, and on Amazon Kindle devices.
The new digital releases will be available from the 2000 AD app for Apple, Android, and Windows 10 devices, as DRM-free PDF/CBZ downloads from the 2000 AD webshop, and on Amazon Kindle devices.
