The second omnibus in the Fiends of the Eastern Front series, collecting Ian Edginton and Tiernen Trevallion’s thrilling horror tales into a new definitive edition, is out now!
Fiends of the Eastern Front is one of the bloodthirsty crowns in 2000 AD history, a vampiric epic which spans multiple eras and travels across bloody battlefields as it follows the enigmatic Captain Constanta: vampire, leader, and warrior! Created by Gerry Finley-Day and Carlos Ezquerra, the acclaimed series continues on into a second volume which brings the Fiends into the modern era of The Galaxy’s Greatest!
In 1970, Lieutenant Tim Wilson is haunted by the memories of war – not just the bloodshed of the battlefield, but the horrors witnessed at the hand of Captain Constanta, who rescued him after a gruesome encounter with the King-Bats of Maximilian Von Klorr – the Black Max himself!
Years later, Lt. Wilson sets on a journey to hunt down Constanta in his native Romania, and uncovers his origins among beasts and creatures of magic. Who is Constanza really, and what is the long game he’s playing?
Collecting the work of Ian Edginton and Tiernen Trevallion, the second omnibus of Fiends of the Eastern Front follows Constanta’s bloody trail across history, and brings monstrous terror from the skies of wartime France to the streets of 1960s London.

NORDLAND RISING // PROLOGUE
Thanks to advances in Nort technology, War Marshal Josef Jaegir has used the black hole around which Nu Earth orbits as a means of invading other universes. Reaching out to Sov War Marshal Kazan, he’s joined forces with East-Meg One to subjugate Mega-City One, and in other realities the Norts have allied themselves with the alien Krool, the Geeks, the Volgans and the Nazis. It’s a war on all fronts, with Jaegir demanding nothing less than total victory.
Meanwhile, Venus Bluegenes has used a d-jump device to hop between the universes and recruit fighters from the various affected realities – Bad Company, the V.C.s, Captain Constanta and his Fiends, Major Eazy – and brought them back to MC-1. Now, Dredd, Anderson, Rogue Trooper and Atalia Jaegir – rebelling against her father – have assembled strike-teams to go after the enemy…

We mark another benchmark issue — two thousand four hundred progs! How on Quaxxann did that happen? — with a special crossover event. In previous years, we’ve had the zombie variants of the characters and the ‘What if…?’ of the Battle Action merger — but this time, it’s war!
Yes, in this particular alternate take on 2000 AD history, the Norts, having defeated the Southers, have sought new worlds to conquer, and Nu Earth’s nearby black hole gives them the opportunity to invade multiple other universes. So, just as Dredd and co are fending off the Sovs at the height of the Apocalypse War, a new enemy joins the fray. And it’s not just Mega-City One that’s coming under attack — Bad Company, the V.C.s, Major Eazy and more are facing the might of the Nordland Empire, and will have to collaborate to strike back…
This is a story too big to contain in just one 48-page issue, so it carries on into Judge Dredd Megazine 472 — handily, on sale the very same day as this pulse-pounding prog! So prepare for an epic battle, Terrans, as Kano, Hershey, Jupe and Constanta team up for the very first time…

The planet Ararat, the twenty-third century. This world has become the site of a vicious war between mankind and the alien Krool.
