Judge Dredd Megazine #467 is OUT NOW!

One of the Megazine’s long-standing creations returns this issue – Brit-City Detective Judge Armitage is back, courtesy of Liam Johnson and Warren Pleece, in Bullets For an Old Man.

Armitage, who’s been a cranky old geezer since he first appeared back in June 1991, is now a consultant to Brit-Cit’s CID division, but Justice Department is keen to mine his experience and memories – not least CID chief, and Armitage’s former partner, Treasure Steel.

Elsewhere, there’s a complete Dredd thriller from Mike Carroll and Paul Marshall, a one-off Devlin Waugh story by Aleš Kot and PJ Holden, the last part of this arc of Harrower Squad, and the penultimate episode of DeMarco, P.I.

Karl Stock chats to former 2000 AD PR droid Igor Goldkind and Scream! editor Ian Rimmer – ahead of the release this year of the frankly glorious fortieth anniversary Archival Collection, which collects up all fifteen issues of the fondly remembered horror anthology – and Stephen Jewell gets the info on Chris Weston, Paul Cornell and Rachael Smith’s new crowdfunded books. All this and lots, lots more, citizens!

Judge Dredd Megazine #467 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 // ESCALATION

Mega-City One, 2146 AD. This vast urban hell on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North
America is home to over 200 million citizens, bordered by the irradiated Cursed Earth to the
west and the toxic Black Atlantic to the east. Tensions run a knife-edge and crime is rampant.
Stemming the tide of chaos are the Judges. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd – he is the Law!

Script: Laura Bailey / Art: Rob Richardson / Letters: Simon Bowland

DEMARCO, P.I. // NO SMOKE

Mega-City One, 2146 AD. Galen DeMarco was once a Judge, a rising star operating out of the
corrupt dumping ground that was Sector House 301. But she quit the force after one romantic
indiscretion too many and set herself up as a private investigator. Now, she’s taken on a case
investigating possible stolen items in a black-market auction, but she’s been set up…

Script: Liam Johnson / Art: Warren Pleece / Letters: Jim Campbell

ARMITAGE // BULLETS FOR AN OLD MAN

Brit-Cit, 2146 AD. While the UK equivalent of Mega-City One has its own Judge force, it’s
retained its CID plainclothes division, of which Detective Inspector Armitage was one of its
veteran officers. Now a consultant, Armitage hasn’t lost his surly demeanour and distrust of
authority, even when the CID chief is now his long-suffering former partner Treasure Steel…

SCREAM // AT DEATH’S DOOR

Produced ‘from the depths’ of King’s Reach Tower by the mysterious ‘undead’ editor Ghastly McNasty, the first issue of Scream! was unleashed on 24th March 1984. More tongue-in-cheek than horrific, the comic was an immediate hit with younger fans – but wasn’t for the nervous!

Script: Si Spurrier / Art: Conor Boyle / Colours: Giulia Brusco / Letters: Rob Steen

HOOKJAW // Part Four

The seas off the coast of Africa are the setting for an action-packed, visceral tale of the Great White shark that is a relentless force of nature! Research scientists, the US military, Somali pirates… all of them may feel they’re the hero of the story, but they have reckoned without the near-mythical Hookjaw!

Script: Mark Russell / Art: Max Dunbar / Colours: Jose Luis Rio / Letters: Simon Bowland

JUDGE DREDD // UNDER SIEGE, Part Four

Judge Dredd keeps law and order in the chaos that is Mega-City One. When all contact with Patrick Swayze Block is lost, Dredd and Judge Beeny are tasked with investigating. As they battle lawlessness and rampant criminality, they discover a threat to the city that they must contain at all costs…

DEVLIN WAUGH // HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Brit-Cit, 2146 AD. A freelance paranormal troubleshooter and exorcist for the Vatican, Devlin
Waugh is the world’s foremost supernatural investigator. Despite becoming a vampire after
getting bitten tackling an outbreak in an underwater prison, Devlin continues to enjoy the finer
things in life, and is a prominent part of the community in which he lives…

HARROWER SQUAD / CALHAB COUNTRY, Part Four

Cal-Hab, 2146 AD. This wild area north of Brit-Cit has become notorious as a dumping ground for
the world’s radioactive waste, and as a consequence much of it outside the major conurbations
such as Glascal is an inhospitable wasteland populated by mutant tribes. Patrolling the
wilderness are heavy-weapons Judge teams like Harrower Squad…

I am The Mighty Tharg, a cosmic being from Betelgeuse with the awesome power to Thrill!

You know, a question many of your species has pondered over the last few years has been to do with the nature of reality — or, more pertinently, is what you’re witnessing actually what it purports to be? Yes, I’m talking about Is it Cake?, a televisual journey into existentialism that asks you — can you truly rely on your senses that you’ve used to navigate this world since birth? Or are you being fooled, and notions of what you thought was real can easily be undone? Is that really a shoe? A handbag? A bowl of fruit? Or is it just cake?

It’s something I mull over here in the Command Module in this age of manipulated reality — replace cake with artificial intelligence and it becomes more sinister. Do I hold in my hand something that was created by a single imagination, or a code inputted into a program? Is it what it claims to be, or an approximation of a creative endeavour? A computerised recreation of artistry?

Needless to say, nothing but pure zarjaz creativity here in these pages, with the return of Aquila and the finale to Full Tilt Boogie. Be here in seven for the start for Brink Book Six, humes!

Judge Dredd Megazine #466 is OUT NOW!

This issue we pay tribute to two more influential comics creators that we’ve sadly lost in the last month – both Paul Neary and Enrique Badia Romero were only occasional contributors to the House of Tharg, but they were formidable figures in the history of UK funnybooks. Romero was a familiar presence in newspapers, drawing the Modesty Blaise and AXA strips, while Paul had a pivotal role at Marvel UK, overseeing a publishing house that was in the mid-eighties rivalling 2000 AD in its output with titles such as Death’s Head and Dragon’s Claws as well as nurturing future artistic stars like Liam Sharp and Doug Braithwaite.

Alongside Neary’s obituary, we also have a chapter from Karl Stock’s Comic Book Punks that covers the Marvel UK era but was cut from the book for reasons of length. It conveys a period of enormous creativity that’s generally looked upon very fondly by those that were there.

Elsewhere, there’s more blistering action in Dredd, Devlin Waugh, Harrower Squad and DeMarco, P.I. plus a complete Tale From the Black Museum from Liam Johnson and Cam Smith. Enjoy, creeps!

A brand new noir masterpiece from two of 2000 AD’s best new talents – Judge Dredd: The Penitent Man collection is available to buy now!

Former Judge Kyle Asher returns from the penal colony on Titan after serving twenty years. Working as a third-class sludge technician he is determined to prove that he can still serve the city he swore an oath to, Judge Dredd is not so sure of him, and questions whether there is such a thing as a penitent man in a place like Mega-City One. However the SJS, the Judges Internal Affairs division, are determined to run Asher out of town, and Dredd wants to know the reason why.

Widely acknowledged as one of the best current writers on the legendary and long-running Judge Dredd, Kenneth Niemand is joined by artist Tom Foster, who since winning the 2000 AD talent search in 2013 has gone on to become a fan favourite with a style that combines the meticulous inking of Brian Bolland and the noir stylings of Howard Chaykin. ‘A Penitent Man’ is their modern classic, a brooding slow-burn rumination on justice, guilt and a system that can neither forgive nor forget.
