Fatal Extraction! 2000 AD Prog 2388 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2388 is OUT NOW!

Gaze upon me, The Mighty Tharg, for I am the bringer of Thrill-power — let it sizzle your optics!

Welcome once again, my Squaxx, to another weekly circuit-smasher, where the zarjazosity explodes from the page and frazzles your senses. Two new stories join the line-up this prog — there’s a complete Dredd thriller from the Niemand and McCrea droids, and I publish the winning story from Thought Bubble script and portfolio competition victors Ed Whiting and Sinu Chandrasenan, the chilling Terror Tale The Essence of the Piece.

Elsewhere, there’s more unsettling intrigue in Brink, high-octane mayhem in Rogue Trooper, and deep-space drama Proteus Vex reaches its penultimate episode — be here in seven for the scrotnig double-length finale!

If you experienced a rumbling in the galactic firmament recently, it’s no doubt because of the wormhole that opened in your star system the other day. Amongst the objects that tumbled through from a parallel dimension were pages from a version of 2000 AD that exists there. So curious was I about them that I’ve decided to publish them in this year’s Sci-Fi Special. Look out for it on 3 July and prepare to be amazed!

2000 AD Prog 2388 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 // RADICALISED

Mega-City One, 2146 AD. Home to over 200 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west and the toxic Black Atlantic on the eastern side. 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!


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: INJ Culbard / Letters: Simon Bowland

BRINK // CONSUMED, Part Eleven

The late 21st century, and through environmental catastrophe and industrial overload Earth has been reduced to a wasteland. Mankind finally evacuated the planet in 2072 and millions were housed in a number of deep-space Habitats. But life on these cramped, overcrowded stations is tense, often spilling over into madness. Sects are rife, and Bridget Kurtis of the Habitat Security Division is investigating their reach…


Script: Geoffrey D. Wessel / Art: Dan Cornwell /Colours: Chris Blythe / Letters: Jim Campbell

ROGUE TROOPER // SOUTHER BELLE, Part Three

Nu Earth, site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, where the atmosphere has been rendered poisonous. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the pollutants — G.I.s like ROGUE TROOPER, the last of his kind. Together with biochip buddies Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, they’re searching for the traitor that sold them out. Now, they’re seeking to save a G.I. ‘Doll’…


Script: Arthur Wyatt / Art & Letters: Pye Parr

TERROR TALES // THE ESSENCE OF THE PIECE

Experience the terrifying side of Thrill-power with these one-off tales from beyond the veil of sanity. Whether they be ghostly goings-on that send shivers up the spine or splatterfests that sear the retina and paralyse the mind, nothing is what it seems in these glimpses of a realm beyond our own. The artist Anagram’s pieces are struggling to sell at auction and her agent Jacob is becoming dangerously frustrated…


Script: Mike Carroll / Art: Jake Lynch / Colours: Jim Boswell / Letters: Simon Bowland

PROTEUS VEX // DEVIOUS, Part Fourteen

The far future. The centuries-long war between the Alliance and the Obdurate people is over, a conflict ended when the Alliance teleported a dying white dwarf star into the Obdurate system. Imperium agent PROTEUS VEX — who is operated by a flesh-pilot — became an enemy of the Alliance when he released info about past war crimes. In the wake of the war with the Scorchers, Vex has been presumed dead, but he’s alive…

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2385 is OUT NOW!

Weep with joy and buckle your diodes — I am The Mighty Tharg and I bring you Thrill-power!

We surge into summer like a squad of Intestinauts falling upon a bacterial cluster in your upper colon — June is upon us and the Thrills are hot, hot, hot! Dredd edges closer to a confrontation with the Undercity entity known as Iron Teeth; Kurtis and Lind wrestle sigils in Brink; the net is closing in on Proteus Vex; the microbial cover stars come face to cerebellum with the mysterious Dr Globulon; and 3riller Blue Skies Over Deadwick reaches its explosive finale. All in all, another packed prog of searing sci-fi to fry your imaginations!

I expect many of you Squaxx picture the Command Module to be a dark and gritty environment, in which stories of anti-heroes battling hostile worlds are conjured into being — and, to be fair, it is ninety per cent of the time like that — but here at Thrill-Central we’re not averse to a little romance, which is why my droids have been working hard on a new Kickstarter project that sees the return of classic title Roxy as an eighty-page special.

The crowd-funding launches this month — check it out, Terrans!

2000 AD Prog 2384 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2384 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this brain-sizzling soup of Thrill-power!

Indeed, the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is much like a cauldron into which various ingredients are dropped and stirred, creating a flavoursome mix where the components complement each other and the result is a tasty stew of zarjazness.

Take, for example, the dark, bitter tang of Judge Dredd, smoky with menace as the lawman heads deeper into the Undercity in pursuit of the juves searching for the mythical monster Iron Teeth — its spine-tingling texture works perfectly with the dayglo sweetness of Intestinauts, that sugar underscored with notes of gut-bot. Then there’s the slow-burn unease of Brink, lingering on the palate long after the story is finished, its myriad elements revealing themselves over time, clashing with the oddball sprinkles of alien weirdness that Proteus Vex brings, sharp snaps that blossom in the imagination like synaptic fireworks.

Add to that the caffeine rush of the 3riller, superheated for maximum impact, and you hold in your hands quite the delicacy, carefully put together by this Betelgeusian chef and my minions. Consume with a favourite beverage, and enjoy, Terrans!

2000 AD Prog 2384 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!

This prog a new story joins the ghafflebette line-up of Judge Dredd, Brink, Proteus Vex and Intestinauts as script-droid David Baillie and artbot Nick Brokenshire collaborate on the latest 3riller to be fired from my Thrill-creation tank, Blue Skies Over Deadwick! Talking of blue skies, at the time of writing it looks like spring in the UK has finally arrived, and the incessant rain that marked April has at last ceased and been replaced by some warmer days.

It makes little difference to my creator-meks — they toil in their work-cubicles whatever the weather, and the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic is delivered onto the shuttles every week regardless — but even for a being from Quaxxann such as myself, spend enough time in the UK and you become involved in the national obsession.

If the Command Module had landed in a different country back in 1977, maybe I wouldn’t be as interested as the varying temperatures outside the Nerve Centre — but for a twist of the navi- comp, 2000 AD could be coming to you from the North Pole, and Judge Shako would be the lead character…

Crime is rampant and only the Judges — zero-tolerance cops empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, a former cadet called Winterton, due to be euthanised, is relating a story from the Apocalypse War forty years ago…

FIENDS OF THE EASTERN FRONT // 1963 / Part Six!

In 1980, the diary of German soldier Hans Schmitt was discovered in Berlin, detailing events that occurred in 1941, when he encountered the terrifying vampire Captain Constanta and his Romanian platoon. But Schmitt was not the first trooper to meet Constanta — the vampire was on the Western Front too, in France in 1916. Now, in 1963, the bloodsucking creature is in East Berlin – and has just escaped Baba Yaga…


Script: Guy Adams / Art: Jimmy Broxton / Letters: Jim Campbell

HOPE // In The Shadows / Reel One – Part Three!

An alternate 1940s USA. WWII is over, victory having been secured by occult means, and consequently magic is a part of everyday life. Mallory HOPE is one such skilled operative, though calling on the dark arts takes its toll on the user. He’s also a P.I., hired for all manner of down n’ dirty jobs, and being based in Los Angeles means he’s often involved in the movie business — and a film production appears cursed…


Script: Arthur Wyatt / Art & Letters: Pye Parr

INTESTINAUTS // The Bowel Impactors / Part Four!

For stomach upsets, future technology has developed nano-robots called INTESTINAUTS, who fight parasites in the gut. These micro-droids are ingested orally, then once their brave battle against the various horrors that can be found in the stomach is over, they take the Big Flush, ready to be uploaded back to headquarters. But this squad of Intestinauts have lost the upload signal, and must cross a fatberg…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: INJ Culbard / Letters: Simon Bowland

BRINK // Mercury Retrograde / Part Nine!

The late 21st century, and through environmental catastrophe and industrial overload Earth has been reduced to a wasteland. Mankind finally evacuated the planet in 2072 and millions were housed in a number of deep-space Habitats. But life on these cramped, overcrowded stations is tense, often spilling over into madness. Sects are rife, and both the Habitat Security Division and certain journalists are investigating …

2000 AD Prog 2277 is out now! Featuring more new Judge Dredd, Intestinauts, Brink, Fiends of the Eastern Front and Hope!

PROG 2277 out now

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2277 is OUT NOW!

We bid you galactic greetings, Terrans, as we unleash another salvo of circuit-shattering Thrills, precision-engineered to energise your imaginations.

There’s more Apocalypse War action in Judge Dredd, gut-busting drama in Intestinauts, Hollyweird chills in Hope, supernatural intrigue in Fiends of the Eastern Front, and fear and unease on the final frontier in Brink — a line-up, we’re sure you’ll agree, that is positively swimming in zarjazosity!

Alas, some sad news reached the Command Module just hours before this issue was beamed to the print-bots, and that was that art-droid Garry Leach had died on 26 March, aged sixy-seven. An incredibly skilled artist, his scrotnig work on The V.C.s — alternating with Cam Kennedy — was expertly textured, and he drew some stunning Dredd episodes, including Night of the Bloodbeast, Attack of the 50-ft Woman, and Ten Years On, which saw the return of Prog 2’s villain Whitey a decade later. He did great work outside of the GGC, of course, including co-creating the new Marvelman with Alan Moore for Warrior, amongst others. RIP, Garry.
