THISTLEBONE // THE DULE TREE, Part Three

One man in the village, Malcolm Kinniburgh, was keeping the Thistlebone legend alive — but it seems to be connected with an old ‘70s horror film…

2000 AD Prog 2365 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2365 is OUT NOW!

Tharg The Mighty here, Thrill-connoisseur from Quaxxann, bringing you your weekly action!

Alas the melancholy news continues into 2024 — after reporting Ian Gibson’s death last prog, all of us here in the Command Module were very sad to hear that Judge Dredd, Nikolai Dante and The Order artist John Burns died on 29 December.

Although John chose to retire last year — you’ll be able to read the last series he contributed to, the Kek-W-scripted Nightmare, New York, at some point in the near future, with David Roach taking over on art duties — he leaves behind an incredible body of work, with a generation of readers encountering his pages in different titles. His career started in the late fifties, and in the sixties he was drawing for the likes of TV Century 21 and girls’ comics such as Diana and June as well as daily newspaper strips. By the seventies and eighties, he could be found in TV Comic, Eagle and Look-In, illustrating UFO, The Bionic Woman and The Fists of Danny Pyke, before making his 2000 AD debut in 1991.

One of the last of the old-school painters, his glorious pages were beautiful to hold and pore over, channelling decades of experience in comics. RIP, John.

2000 AD Prog 2364 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2364 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien super-being at the helm of this SF anthology!!

Due to the inevitable delay in interstellar shipping, it means that that this prog is sent to the print-bots a couple of weeks before Xmas, but you Squaxx won’t see it until the second week of January. As a consequence, this news has already circulated widely online, but nevertheless I must pay tribute to art-droid Ian Gibson, who sadly passed away on 11 December after a long battle with cancer.

One of 2000 AD’s longest-serving artists, contributing to the first Dredd multi-parter The Robot Wars in 1977, and going on to draw a huge number of classic Dredd stories as well as co-creating Robo-Hunter with John Wagner and The Ballad of Halo Jones with Alan Moore, he leaves an extraordinary legacy in the pages of the Galaxy’s Greatest.

With his unmistakable style, combining humour, action and beautiful characterisation, he was a brilliant storyteller — whether it was the crazed robots in Verdus, the gang war in Rumble in the Jungle or future-war on Moab in Halo Jones, he could handle it all, and the pages glowed with energy and excitement.

Rest in peace, Ian. You will be much missed.

2000 AD Prog 2364 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!

JUDGE DREDD // CLANKER, Part One

Mega-City One, 2145 AD. Home to over 200 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only future cops the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! An unknown extradimensional entity has possessed city machinery in a bid to take control…


Script: Ian Edginton / Art: D’Israeli / Letters: Simon Bowland

HELIUM // SCORCHED EARTH, Part Nine

The far future. It has been three hundred years since the Great War ended, and eighty-five per cent of the Earth’s surface now lies beneath a gaseous ocean known as the Poison Belt — a toxic cocktail of biological weapons. The survivors live above the lethal fugue, but a Professor Bloom has emerged, claiming he can make the planet habitable again. Constable Hodge is tasked with protecting him, but they’ve been followed…


Script: Peter Milligan / Art: Rufus Dayglo / Colours: Jose Villarrubia / Letters: Jim Campbell

THE DEVIL’S RAILROAD // Part Eight

The Earth year 3038, and Planet Diaspora X-167 is a world that has been ravaged by war, a conflict that sees no sign of ending despite years of death and destruction. One couple, Palamon and Constance, are attempting to escape the caranage, especially now that Constance is pregnant — if the baby is born on Earth, it’ll have full Earth rights. Seeking a new life, these refugees must take a risky journey…


Script: Cavan Scott / Art: Luke Horsman / Letters: Simon Bowland

ENEMY EARTH // BOOK THREE, Part One

The near future. Mother Nature has turned against the people that live upon the Earth’s surface. Now, the planet’s flora and fauna have mutated and are viciously attacking humanity. As society crumbles, and survivors seek safety, young Zoe, who has lost her own family, has rescued Jules, who’s the prime minister’s son. Now, the pair have been reunited with the PM, and they’re journeying to India…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Richard Elson / Letters: Jim Campbell

FERAL & FOE // BAD GODESBERG, Part Nine

It’s been over five years since the Last-of-All-War, when the Monarchy succeeded in defeating the Malign Lord. With their leader dead, his minions are scattered, fleeing retribution from the Wretchfinders. Necromancer Bode and warrior Wrath are two such beings, and were offered a deal — hunt and kill their own kind or be declared FERAL & FOE. Now, they’ve travelled to Godesberg, a stronghold that’s in trouble…

Drokk the Halls! Rufus Hound joins 2000 AD 100-page Christmas spectacular – pre-order now!

2000 AD Prog 2362

The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic marks the end of another year with the traditional festive blowout – a 100-page mega-special featuring brand-new stories and a surprise creative guest!

2000 AD Prog 2362 is out on the 13th December – and you can pre-order this special issue now, with FREE postage within the U.K.

Within its pages you will find an all-new Strontium Dog story by comedian and actor Rufus Hound, with artist Dan Cornwell!

We spoke to the newly-anointed Hound droid about joining the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic and he bleeped back: “I’d never believed that I’d get a chance like this. That ACTUAL 2000 AD would ask me – ME! – to write so much as a single syllable for their illustrious pages. Not only that, but to be given the opportunity to reimagine something from the golden era of Strontium Dog? Proper dream come true stuff.”

In Strontium Dog: ‘Alpha’, Johnny and Wulf are en-route to the planet Aminovarm in the hold of a star cruiser when Johnny intervenes in a domestic incident. When the son gives Johnny an alien delicacy as a thank you gift, things go south and psychedelic in equal amounts! Hound described the story:

“Johnny Alpha always had it hard, but kept his upper-lip stiff and his chin granite-like. However, what if a diary of his was discovered? Something that peeled away a later or two of the man? That allowed us some insight into the mind of Johnny Alpha, not merely marvel at his tough-as-hell actions. That’s what ‘Alpha’ is.

I’ve filled my story with classic SD references, but I hope the greatest act of fan service is the tale itself. I’ve tried to give Wulf and Johnny something that I think most fans have always craved for them, whilst still letting them be Johnny and Wulf. With Carlos’ passing, getting this right seems even more important somehow. I just hope the amount of love and hard work I’ve lavished on it shines through.

The 100-page Spectacular will continue ongoing stories Feral & FoeHeliumEnemy Earth and The Devil’s Railroad, but they’re joined by a heavenly host of one-off stories: a new Judge Dredd tale by Ken Niemand & Tom Foster, Azimuth by Dan Abnett & Tazio BettinRogue Trooper by Geoffrey D. Wessel & Simon ColebyFiends of the Eastern Front by Ian Edginton & Tiernen TrevallionAnderson, Psi-Div by Torunn Gronbekk & Kieran McKeown, and Strontium Dog by Rufus Hound & Dan Cornwell!

All this wrapped inside a classic and chaotic cover from Cliff Robinson and Dylan Teague? Grud bless us, every one!

On sale 13 December, Prog 2362 isn’t a Christmas stocking-stuffer – it’s a Yuletide mind-expander! Pre-Order it today from the 2000 AD webshop!
