Judge Dredd Megazine #457 is OUT NOW!

We reach the climax of ‘One-Eyed Jacks’ as the plot to rewrite history relies on New York cops McBane and Fargo to thwart it and consequently save Mega-City One, plus there’s more thrilling action in Dreadnoughts, Spector (with Dan Cornwell taking over on art duties from the late Carlos Ezquerra), Lawless and the penultimate part of Death Metal Planet.

Elsewhere, there’s chats with Dredd artist Kieran McKeown and fellow pencil-bot Rob Davis, a look at the stunning Kevin O’Neill Apex Edition, following similar tomes featuring the work of Brian Bolland and Mick McMahon, which Kev was closely involved with shortly before his death, and John Wagner reveals all about the return of The Bogie Man, his, Alan Grant and Robin Smith’s creator-owned detective comedy, a collection of which is being Kickstarted as we speak.

Judge Dredd Megazine #457 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 the Megazine in the first month of its release then postage in the UK is free!

JUDGE DREDD // One-Eyed Jacks, part six

Mega-City One, 2145 AD. This vast urban hell on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America is home to over 200 million citizens. Crime is rampant, and stemming the tide of chaos are the Judges. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd – he is the Law! Now, Dredd and Rico are investigating a link between 1970s New York and the twenty-second century…

Script: John Wagner / Art: Carlos Ezquerra / Letters: Jim Campbell

SPECTOR // Incorruptible, part three

In a near-future US city, corruption within the branches of government has reached unsustainable levels. City Hall is rotten to the core, and the police force is equally on the take. To that end, Spector is created, a robot detective – beyond bribery and untainted by potential malfeasance – charged with rooting out criminal elements. But the android inspector is making many enemies…

Script: David Hine / Art: Nick Percival / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

DARK JUDGES // Death Metal Planet, part nine

After the events on the Mayflower, in which the Dark Judges were ejected into space, they ended up on the colony world of Dominion, which they proceeded to decimate. When Mega- City marines were sent in, assisted by survivor Rosco, the planet was destroyed. Worshipped like gods on Thanatopia by a death-cult, they’re now part of a death-metal festival…

Script: Ales Kot / Art: Rob Richardson / Letters: Simon Bowland

LAWLESS // Most Wanted, part two

Colonial Marshal Metta Lawson was appointed to the frontier township of Badrock on the planet 43 Rega, intent on stamping her authority on the colony. But in doing so, Lawson made many enemies, including Munce, Inc., the mega-corporation that funded Badrock. Now, having been thrown off the force, and becoming a vigilante, she’s turned to organised crime…

Script: Matt Smith / Art: Carl Critchlow / Letters: Shawn Lee

ANDERSON, PSI DIVISION // The King of the Six Sectors, part three

In an adventure from Cassandra Anderson’s early days in the Mega-City One Psi-Division, writer Matt Smith and artist Carl Critchlow present “King of the Six Sectors.” It all starts with Anderson awaking from an unusually strong vision of an attack on the Megapolitan Museum showcasing Cursed Earth artifacts…

Script: Garth Ennis / Art: Keith Burns / Colour: Jason Wordie / Letters: Rob Steen

JOHNNY RED // part two

Legendary British fighter ace, Johnny ‘Red’ Redburn, returns once more as the commander of the Falcons – a Russian fighter squadron battling the Nazis in the skies over Stalingrad. But dogfighting Messerschmitts is about to become the least of his troubles when the NVKD – the notorious Soviet secret police – come calling!

THE SPIDER SYNDICATE OF CRIME VS THE CROOK FROM SPACE

He’s the undisputed king of crime! The Spider is an amazing mastermind with a stunning array of weaponry and a vast network of villainous henchmen! Now the underworld is fighting back and have sent a strange assassin known as The Exterminator to lure the spider into a trap! But one battle isn’t enough for this arachnid adventurer – when a shape shifting crook from another planet arrives on Earth, the Spider must stop the alien from plundering the planet and toppling him from power!

Script: Mike Carroll / Art: John Higgins / Colour: Sally Hurst / Letters: Simon Bowland

DREADNOUGHTS // The March of Progress, Part three

USA, 2035 AD. The new Justice Department is still in its early years, with Judges working alongside the police. It’s proving an explosive transition, with many citizens – and more than a few cops – unhappy with these helmeted officers taking to the streets. Judge Veranda Glover is a recent transfer to Boulder, Colorado, and is making her presence felt…

Judge Dredd Megazine #455 is OUT NOW!

New series start this issue – first up we have the much-anticipated second arc of Dreadnoughts, courtesy of regular creators Mike Carroll and John Higgins, rewinding to the early days of Justice Department in the mid twenty-first century.

Secondly, those originators of the Judge Dredd universe itself, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, are back with Spector, a creator-owned robot-detective drama. Many of you will be aware that this was the series Carlos was working on when he sadly died in 2018, and only the first two episodes were completed (published in the 2019 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special). John decided to carry on writing the story, and Dan Cornwell will be taking over on art from part three onwards.

Also new is the Anderson, Psi-Division mini-series ‘The King of the Six Sectors’, which acts as a sequel to ‘Year One’, while both Mega-City Two and the current Devlin Waugh adventure come to a close. Elsewhere, we catch up with Devlin artist Rob Richardson, chat a life in comics with Dave Gibbons, and preview this year’s 2000 AD Free Comic Book Day special, which you’ll be able to pick up from participating stores on 5 May.

ONE-EYED JACK

Part Dirty Harry, part Judge Dredd, ALL BADASS! Police Detective Jack McBane is the toughest, meanest law enforcer in 1970s New York City.

Written by John Wagner and featuring the dynamic artwork of the late John Cooper, One-Eyed Jack is a seminal comic strip from Valiant which helped shape and change the course of British comic books forever.

Features:

  • A Very British Affair by Karl Stock
  • Chris Standley interview by Karl Stock

Judge Dredd Megazine #451 is OUT NOW!

The Megazine gets a face-lift this month – the print mag is now squarebound, with the reprint moved inside the mag itself, thereby ditching the polybag and the separate mini-trades. To mark this format change, this bumper Xmas issue is a massive 144 pages in which alongside the latest instalments of Devlin Waugh, Surfer, Storm Warning and Death Metal Planet – plus of course a complete seasonal case for Judge Dredd, courtesy of Ken Niemand and Stewart K. Moore – we’ve got two bonus stories in the shape of an eight-page Judge Dredd by Rob Williams and Will Conrad, and the debut of Mega-City 2099, a slice of retro law enforcement from Niemand and Conor Boyle, channelling that 1970s aesthetic.

Elsewhere there are interviews with two comics creators that have dipped their toes into prose – former Rogue Trooper script-droid Gerry Finley-Day and cover artist John Watson – as well as writer and editor John Freeman, plus reprints of the first issues of Judge Dredd: Year One and Mega-City Two: City of Courts, both originally published by IDW, and some classic Steel Claw material.

Judge Dredd Megazine #451 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 the Megazine in the first month of its release then postage in the UK is free!
