Judge Dredd Megazine 438 is out now!

Angelic, Devlin Waugh and The Returners all wrap up this issue, plus we have a complete Judge Dredd thriller from Ian Edginton and Dave Taylor, and another eerie Tale From the Black Museum, courtesy of Paul Starkey and Nick Dyer, allowing for a fantastic all-new line-up to start in next month’s Xmas Meg.

Dan Abnett and Phil Winslade reunite for the much-anticipated next series of Lawless, Ballots Over Badrock; having chronicled some of Chopper’s most iconic moments, John Wagner and Colin MacNeil take to the Mega-City skies once again for Surfer as the latest generation of powerboarders become embroiled in a criminal enterprise; we’re back in Brit-Cit for the third and final series of Diamond Dogs, courtesy of regular creators James Peaty and Warren Pleece; and Blunt collaborators T.C. Eglington and Boo Cook team up for the Cursed Earth-set revenge drama Death Cap.

All this, and of course Ol’ Stoney-Face greets the festive season with about as much goodwill as you’d imagine in Saviour by Ken Niemand and Steven Austin. Lots to enjoy as we leave 2021 – and there are plenty more surprises to come in the new year!

Welcome to the September Megazine, and alongside the latest instalments of Devlin Waugh, Angelic and The Returners we have the final episode of Diamond Dogs II and a complete Dredd thriller from Rory McConville and Nick Dyer, How Do You
Solve a Problem Like Francisco?, that acts as an epilogue to the Project Providence storyline as Ol’ Stoney-Face assesses the fitness of Dan Francisco post-kidnapping.

We’ll be returning to the consequences of MC-1’s PP scandal, and its place in the global community, in McConville and Staz Johnson’s four-parter Praise Zort!, coming early next year. Elsewhere in this issue, we’ve got interviews with former editorial droid Simon Geller and designer turned prose novelist Rian Hughes, plus Rob Williams reveals the secrets of Out, his and Will Conrad’s new WWII/vampire title from US publishers AWA.

If you’re a subscriber you may have received this on Saturday 14 August (another good reason, of course, to have your Thrill-power delivered direct to your door), in which case there’s just enough time to remind you that it’s Free Comic
Book Day on the 14th, moved from its usual May slot because of the pandemic.

As usual, lots of freebies to be snaffled from the participating comic stores, including another special 2000 AD issue, which features the opening chapters of Rob Williams and Si Fraser’s Hershey: Disease and Mike Carroll and John Higgins’ Dreadnoughts: Breaking Ground (ahead of their imminent graphic-novel collections) as well as a corking all-new Judge Dredd six-page story from Al Ewing and Caspar Wijngaard.

If you miss FCBD, these issues can usually be picked up online, but the initiative is intended to encourage in-store shopping, and Thrill-merchants, like most retailers, could do with your support in the wake of a devastating eighteen months.

Meanwhile, in this Meg, we’ve got more Dredd, Devlin Waugh, Diamond Dogs, The Returners and Angelic plus chats with artists Steve Roberts and Lee Sullivan. Enjoy!

Judge Dredd Megazine 434 is out now!

As well as working as a warning about a future society being ruled by a militarised polise force, the Judge Dredd strip has also presented a twenty-second century in which the planet is irrevocably scarred by nuclear war and environmental collapse.


The Cursed Earth is an irradiated wasteland, the Black Atlantic polluted to the point where any life within it isseverely mutated, and most produce is now synthetically created. It’s a bleak vision of a post-apocalyptic Earth, and if we want to stop it becoming a reality we all need to play a part in preventing climate change.

Paul Goodenough’s Rewriting Extinction project is the latest to draw attention to the crisis with a massive comic-book populated by three hundred writers, artists, activists and film-makers, from Alan Moore to Ricky Gervais. You can find out more about the initiative within this Meg.

Elsewhere, we have the return of Gordon Rennie and Lee Carter’s Angel Gang reimagining Angelic, plus Dredd, Devlin Waugh, Diamond Dogs and The Returners, plus interviews with two writers from very different publishing eras – 2000 AD and Action sub-editor Roy Preston, and up-and-comer Ram V. Enjoy!

In addition, we have a chat with the creative teams behind this summer’s pair of specials – Alec Worley and Dani spill the beans on Black Beth and the Devils of Al-Kadesh, a fantasy saga featuring the character that sprang out of Scream!, which hits the racks at the end of this month; and Mike Carroll, Maura McHugh and Liam Johnson reveal all about the 2021 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special, out 7 July, a Dreddverse-centric collection of tales linked by over-arching narrative.

On a final note, we were saddened to hear last month that Dave Evans had died. Often credited as Bolt-01, he was the editor of 2000 AD fanzines Zarjaz, Dogbreath and Futurequake, and a friendly and enthusiastic regular at conventions. He’ll be much missed. RIP, Bolt.

Elsewhere, alongside the latest instalment of Deliverance, we have three new stories – Dredd learns that you don’t drokk with Bob, courtesy of Niemand and Ian Richardson; James Peaty and Warren Pleece reunite for another visit to the streets of Brit-Cit in Diamond Dogs II, following on from the debut series that ran in Megs 409-414; and we have another complete Devlin Waugh tale, The Lord of Lies, by Aleš Kot and Mike Dowling, setting up a major arc that starts next issue.

Plus there’s a chat with possibly heavy metal’s biggest Dredd fan, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian, about Z2 Comics’ new project Among the Living, a graphic-novel adaptation of the seminal thrash album, which features Chris Weston drawing the ‘I am the Law’ story, scripted by Ian himself.

Judge Dredd Megazine 430 is out now!

This month we reach the final episode of The Returners: Heartswood, and we were very sad to hear of the sudden death of writer Si Spencer in February. Si had been a part of the creative line-up of the Meg during its formative years in the nineties,
creating Harke & Burr with Dean Ormston, and The Creep with Kevin Cullen, and had a parallel career working in TV, script-editing the likes of Eastenders, The Bill and Grange Hill.

He’d returned to the Meg in the last four years, writing HAVN and The Returners, the last arc of which, Amazonia, he’d just about completed. That series will commence in a couple of issues’ time, but in the meantime inside you’ll find an obituary from Karl Stock as creators such as Ormston, Gordon Rennie, Garth Ennis and David Bishop warmly recollect the memories of their friend.

Elsewhere, we have the latest episodes of Megatropolis and Deliverance, a complete Dredd thriller, and the first of two Devlin Waugh single-parters by Aleš Kot and Mike Dowling that will lead into a major storyline, The Reckoning, starting in Meg 432!

JUDGE DREDD // One For The Ages

Mega-City One, 2141 AD.

Unemployment is rife, boredom universal and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

MEGATROPOLIS // Part Seven!

Imagine a Mega-City One from an alternate timeline – less the gleaming metropolis of the twenty-second century but instead an art deco retro-future variation.

Together they’re investigating a series of vigilante killings…
