OUT NOW: Judge Dredd Megazine #466

Judge Dredd Megazine #466 out now

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!

Judge Dredd Megazine #466 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!

A Second Chance In Mega-City One? Judge Dredd: A Penitent Man Is Out Now!

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.

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2372 is OUT NOW!

Bow before my Mightiness, for I am Tharg, Betelgeusian being of immense zarjazness!

We reach the nerve-jangling finale to the current Dredd thriller A Better World this prog, and indeed the whole issue is so stuffed with galactic goodness that it’s spilled out onto the back page. What other comic can give you this kind of uninterrupted cosmic magnificence — Indigo Prime, Thistlebone, The Fall of Deadworld and Full Tilt Boogie, bang after bang after bang!

Well, I can think of another title that’s equally scrotnig, and it’s of course the Judge Dredd Megazine — anything released from the House of Tharg is never less than one hundred per cent ghafflebette — and if you haven’t yet picked up Meg 465, I highly recommend you do so, for within you’ll find the start of a new Devlin Waugh series by Ales Kot and Steven Austin, as well as a complete Mega-City 2099 story from Ken Niemand and Conor Boyle, alongside Dredd, DeMarco, P.I., and Harrower Squad.

Add to that tributes to the much-missed artists Ian Gibson and John Burns, an interview with Wireheads writer Mark Eyles, and much more, it’s another packed 128 pages you can’t afford to miss, Terrans!

I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien editor of this award-winning sci-fi anthology!

As we slide off the tail-end of February, it means that the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic has reached another ghafflebette milestone — yes, my illustrious organ, and, of course, by extension its most famous son, Judge Dredd, who’s been with it since the second prog, are both an incredible forty-seven years old.

Traditionally on your planet, when it’s somebody’s birthday, they’re given presents to celebrate the occasion — but for this Quaxxann, I’ve always been one to fly in the face of what’s expected, so rather than ask all you Squaxx to supplicate yourselves before me and bring offerings of gratitude, instead it’ll be I who will be giving you a gift — the gift of Thrill-power!

What better way to toast these forty-seven years of zarjazness than with an issue stuffed with circuit-shattering strips like Dredd’s current story A Better World, Thistlebone, The Fall of Deadworld, Indigo Prime and Full Tilt Boogie — an awesome line-up showcasing the work of my creator-meks, who fill these pages with their talent every week, and have done for over four and a half decades.

Judge Dredd Megazine #465 is OUT NOW!

There’s a pair of tributes this issue to the two artistic greats that we lost at the end of last year – Ian Gibson and John Burns – as creators pay their respect to these formidable talents, who contributed so much to both 2000 AD and the Meg. There’s also an obituary for influential alternative comedian Tony Allen, whose connection to the Meg wasn’t quite as sustained but nevertheless he was there right from the beginning, writing the satirical Mega-City News columns that ran in the first few issues alongside America and Young Death.

Elsewhere, as well as the latest instalments of Judge Dredd and Harrower Squad, Devlin Waugh is back for another supernatural case, with artist Steven Austin joining regular writer Aleš Kot, Laura Bailey and Rob Richardson have DeMarco, P.I. undertake a new investigation, and there’s also a new flashback tale in Mega-City 2099: Inside Man by Ken Niemand and Conor Boyle.

Meanwhile, the big news from Rebellion – which was announced just as this issue was sent to print – is that principal photography has wrapped on Duncan Jones’ animated Rogue Trooper movie, and it’s set to be released in 2025!

Featuring Dredd, Zombo, Devlin Waugh and More! Best of 2000 AD Vol.5 is out now!

Best of 2000 AD is a landmark series from the cult comic, bursting with our greatest stories for a new generation of readers.

Every Best of 2000 AD contains a mix of modern classics and gems from the vault. In each edition you’ll find an explosive new Judge Dredd adventure, fresh essays by prominent popular culture writers, a graphic novel-length feature presentation by global legends and a vintage Dredd case.

In this volume: Judge Dredd raises only the law when Mega City One’s super-rich consider themselves above it all in Elevator Pitch; crash-land on a Death Planet as Al Ewing (The Immortal Hulk) and Henry Flint (Eerie) introduce the monstrous, weaponized (but dead polite) Zombo; go Swimming in Blood with occult detective Devlin Waugh as he investigates a vampire outbreak in an underwater prison by John Smith (Hellblazer) and Sean Phillips (Reckless, Night Fever); ride out into the Godless wasteland of the Cursed Earth and witness Gordon Rennie (Doctor Who) and Frank Quitely (All-Star Superman) preach faith through firepower in Missionary Man.

Boasting brand new covers from an all-star line-up of artists including Annie Wu (Hawkeye, Black Canary) and Evan Cagle (Dune, Detective Comics) with designer Tom Muller (X-Men), Best of 2000 AD is the essential gateway into the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
