The latest of 2000 AD‘s digital-only collections, Durham Red: Born Bad, is out now!
Late 22nd century. After the Atomic Wars, many survivors were warped by Strontium 90 fallout. These ‘mutants’ became a victimised underclass, forced into ghettos, with bounty hunting the only job open to them. One such Search/Destroy agent is ruthless vampire Durham Red, who requires blood to survive. Feared by both the criminals she hunts and her fellow Stronts, Red has a formidable reputation that precedes her…
Originally appearing in Progs 2082-89 in 2018 and featuring work from Alec Worley, Ben Willsher and Lee Carter, Born Bad is set in the far-future and finds the mutant vampire bounty hunter is a galactic pariah, trusted by no-one – least of all herself.
Durham Red: Born Badis out now – 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.
As we slide into December, it can only mean that we’re barrelling towards 2021’s end-of-season finale — and this year has certainly had its plot twists and unexpected character reveals — and stories are wrapping up here in the Galaxy’s Greatest ahead of the scrotnig Xmas behemoth issue warping your way in a fortnight’s time.
The current arc of The Diaboliks comes to a close this prog, and Scarlet Traces, Dexter and Dredd’s latest raptastic case all reach their respective climaxes next week — but what will be replacing them in the festive Thrillathon that is Prog 2262?
Well, we’ve got no less than three returning series that will be commencing their runs — firstly, Mike Carroll and Jake Lynch reunite for the third arc of Proteus Vex, Desire Paths, with the titular agent now an enemy of the Alliance; also back for its third series is fantasy saga Kingmaker by Ian Edginton and Leigh Gallagher as Falls the Shadow sees the reappearance of an ancient evil; and Kek-W and John Burns collaborate once more on The Order, with the band of trans-temporal warriors under attack by shadows in Fantastic Voyage. Don’t miss ‘em!

SCARLET TRACES // Storm Front // Part Ten!
1968. It is decades since Mars waged war on Earth, and the major nations have access to Martian-derived technology, but Britain is still recovering from Martian bombardment in the 1940s, when much of the south of England was destroyed. This was followed by the arrival in the 1950s of two million Venusians, seeking refuge from Martian occupation. Now, the Martians are on the attack, and Jupiter has to come to Earth’s aid…

THE OUT // Book Two // Part Ten!
The furthest edge of the universe, far into the future. Cyd Finlea is photo-journalist working for the publishers Global Neographic, travelling deep into outer space — otherwise known as THE OUT — and cataloguing the alien societies that she encounters.

DEXTER // Bulletopia Chapter Seven: Lordy Jordy, King of Everything / Part Three!
Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER were the best hitmen money could buy in the future city of Downlode. Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension, they found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knew who they were. But now a rogue A.I. is at large, which took control of Sinister, forcing Dex to kill him. But Sinister has been resurrected, and Dex, Billi and Carrie are on the run…
Welcome to your latest salvo of circuit-shattering Thrills, Terrans, courtesy of the Comic of Tomorrow.
It’s that time of the week again, Squaxx, when we open the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic-sized portal in your reality and allow you to plunge into these future-shocked worlds.
Alongside the latest zarjaz instalments of The Out, Scarlet Traces, Dexter and The Diaboliks, this prog sees the start of all-new Judge Dredd story from the Williams and Weston droids, featuring a certain Klegg who’s become something of a Mega-City star in recent years. If you humes thought Hamilton was the must-see musical, then prepare yourselves for the Ol’ Stoney-Face extravaganza heading your way — this showstopper is truly not to be missed!
Indeed, as we head into the festive period, you may well be considering a trip to the theatre for a seasonal panto performance. It’s Terran behaviour that Tharg admits he struggles to understand, but at least it’s a fairly innocent pastime on this world compared to the Quothaarl, who toss mini-nukes at the actors during the closing number.
Still, while you may not be able to see Dredd on stage any time soon, you can wear him on your chest, thanks a new range of Xmas jumpers available from shop.2000AD.com!
2000 AD Prog 2259 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 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!

1 December – Durham Red: Born Bad – Alec Worley (w) Ben Willsher, Lee Carter (a)
Welcome to the fourth and final Regened takeover of 2021 as once again Tharg hands the editorial reins for one week over to his nephew Joko-Jargo to produce a bumper 48-page issue of 2000 AD containing a bunch of zarjaz complete stories.
Inside you’ll find Cadets Dredd and Rico getting some hands-on Lawmaster training in Full Throttle courtesy of Liam Johnson and Ben Willsher; mutant bounty hunter Middenface McNulty has brought his granny’s dog Dougal IX on the case, and the pooch isn’t going to let a criminal target escape in Strontium Dug by David Baillie and Colin MacNeil; a fame-hungry internet influencer uses time travel to gather more followers in Temporal Tantrum by Colin Harvey and Tom Newell; and two new series make their scrotnig debuts — alien buddy caper Scooter & Jinx by James Peaty and Steve Roberts, and post-apocalyptic survivor’s tale Enemy Earth by Cavan Scott and Luke Horsman.
As ever, let us know what you think of this latest raft of strips, and what you’d like to see more of. Joko Jargo will be back in 2022 with another quartet of Regened progs, and you can play a part in deciding their content! Enjoy, humes!
2000 AD Prog 2256 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 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!

CADET DREDD // Full Throttle!
Mega-City One, 2076 AD. Home to over 800 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. On one side is the polluted Black Atlantic, and to the west is the blasted radlands of the Cursed Earth. Overcrowding in the metropolis is rife, unemployment is at ninety per cent, boredom is universal and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — a zero-tolerance police force empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. CADET JOE DREDD — together with his clone-brother Rico — is a rising star in Justice Department, and will one day be its finest officer. Make no mistake, he is the Law!
Script: James Peaty / Art: Steve Roberts / Colours: Jim Boswell / Letters: Simon Bowland
SCOOTER & JINX // New this Prog!
Eco-Point, a space station out near the Daedalus Spiral, is a place where all manner of species from across the galaxy congregate as they pass through on their various journeys. Mondo’s Mektail Bar is a favourite watering hole for the hungry and thirsty traveller, and waitress Scooter Occultatum is expecting a quiet afternoon’s business — but then again she wasn’t anticipating Jinx Calhoun to be amongst the customers, a rogue and a thief, who has more than enough secrets of his own. Not least the gangsters that are on his tail, who want to get their hands on something Jinx has stolen. The pair are about to cross paths in a very explosive fashion…
Script: Cavan Scott / Art: Luke Horsman / Colours: John Charles / Letters: Jim Campbell
ENEMY EARTH // The Bunker!
Perhaps mankind should’ve expected it, given the destruction humanity has wrought upon the planet Earth. Acres of forests bulldozed, waterways polluted, animal life driven to extinction — there was always going to be a point in which the world decided that enough was enough, and Mother Nature would turn against the people that lived upon its surface and treated it so disrespectfully. So it came without warning — when Earth’s flora and fauna mutated and suddenly started attacking everyone. Quickly, civilisation crumbled as systems of government, TV and the internet all collapsed, leaving survivors to fend for themselves…
Script: Colin Harvey / Art: Tom Newell / Colours: Gary Caldwell / Letters: Simon Bowland
TIME TWISTERS // Temporal Tantrum!
Forget what you think you understand, Earthlets, about your species’ limited notion of time. Take nothing for granted when it comes to human history, or an unknowable future — the process of time can be broken, bent back on itself, or even sent in entirely the wrong direction. These complete head-spinning tales warp the very fabric of chronology itself, and established events can be changed by the unwary dabbler in time travel. Take, for example, the case of Garzan Tarfett, an internet influencer, whose vast army followers hang on her every word (which she is, of course, very keen to monetise). Hungry for more fame, she heads into the past…
Script: David Baillie / Art: Colin MacNeil / Colours: Chris Blythe / Letters: Simon Bowland
STRONTIUM DUG // New this Prog!
Following the Great Atom War of 2150, many of the survivors were mutated by the radioactive Strontium 90 fallout, creating an underclass despised and feared by the ‘norms’. These mutants were forced to live in ghettos, and the only job open to them was bounty hunting as Search/Destroy agents. The most famous of these so-called STRONTIUM DOGs is Johnny Alpha, who was regularly accompanied on missions by friend and fellow mutant Archibald ‘Middenface’ McNulty. Now, as McNulty has his own quarry to chase — a criminal known as Steeds Cryptoplex — he’s brought with him his granny’s dog, Dougal IX…
Three stories wrap up this issue, Terrans — there’s a desperate bid to escape an imploding Atlantis in the gripping final chapter of Judge Dredd: The Hard Way from the Williams, Wyatt and Lynch droids; Roger Langridge and Brett Parson bring Pandora Perfect’s sausage moon-based adventure to a meaty climax; and The Diaboliks’ escapades in Rome come to a close, but we’ll be joining Solomon Ravne in London Calling in Prog 2257 as Dom Reardon takes over from Antonio Fuso to collaborate with Gordon Rennie on the next instalment!
Meanwhile, The Out and Scarlet Traces will be taking a break for a week for next prog is 2021’s fourth Regened takeover as Joko-Jargo gatecrashes the Command Module to deliver another bumper all-ages special.
He’s pulled together a zarjaz line-up of strips — Cadet Dredd hits the accelerator in Full Throttle by Liam Johnson and Ben Willsher; nature turns nasty in Cavan Scott and Luke Horsman’s Enemy Earth; Scooter & Jinx are aliens on the run, courtesy of James Peaty and Steve Roberts; and Middenface McNulty’s pup is on the case in Strontium Dug by David Baillie and Colin MacNeil!
