In the totalitarian dystopia of Mega-City One, the most subversive thing you can be … is pro-democracy!

From the iconic ‘Democracy isn’t working’ cover by John Higgins to ‘Official Government Hooligan’ from Crisis, the ‘Politics’ range of T-shirts features both classic artwork and fresh designs – so whether you’re a pro-democracy agitator or pro-Judge enforcer, there’s something for you!

Alongside legendary images from 2000 AD there are also designs based on World War Three, Pat Mills and Carlos Ezquerra’s overtly political strip from the pages of ‘mature’ 1990s comic, Crisis.

These T-shirts are available to order now in multiple sizes and colours, and are mandatory wear for any 2000 AD fan!

“Unashamedly polemic in its approach, and touching on everything from environmental politics, to food monopolies, to state surveillance, 3WW pre-empted the obsessions of current online activists by some quarter of a century” – Ian McQuaid, Ransom Note

One of British comics’ most politically conscious series is to be collected in its entirety for the very first time!

Using brand new scans of the original artwork supplied by the family of the late Carlos Ezquerra, in 2020 the Treasury of British Comics is publishing the definitive collection of Pat Mills and Carlos Ezquerra’s highly-political comic book classic of global capitalism, rebellion and exploitation – Third World War.

Eve is unemployed after leaving university and is immediately conscripted as a soldier working for a corporation and discovers just how South American countries are being exploited to create food needed to feed the increasing population for their profit under the guise of western paternalism.

Running in Crisis from 1988-1990 and including work by Angie Kincaid and Matt “D’Israeli” Brooker, Third World War is suffused with economic, political, and social issues, and deals with ever-more-prescient issues around capitalism and global politics. Ezquerra’s painted colour artwork is a highlight of his long and distinguished career.

A truly anti-establishment graphic novel, unlike anything else published by the Treasury of British Comics so far, the collection will be available in January 2020.
