PROG 2275 out now

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2275 is OUT NOW!

We say farewell to Kingmaker this prog as the current arc of Ian Edginton and Leigh Gallagher’s epic fantasy/SF mash-up reaches its finale — but we also welcome a new story as those gut-busting nanobots the Intestinauts are back in The Bowel Impactors, courtesy as ever of writer Arthur Wyatt and artist Pye Parr. Expect droid-on-droid action in the stinky surrounds of a futuristic sewer system as a fiery fight on a gargantuan fatberg has explosive consequences!

Elsewhere, Judge Dredd and his small squad of cadets infiltrate the mysterious Citadel of the story’s title, Constanta catches up with his target in East Berlin though he may not be all that he seems, and Maslow’s investigations into union workings bring him closer to a sect conspiracy in Brink.

All in all, another zarjaz issue from my emerald empire, delivered by my Command Module meks for your Terran enjoyment. Even after forty-five years, we’re still coming up with the Thrill-powered goods — and next week you’ve got the start of a new Hope series by Guy Adams and Jimmy Broxton! How do we do it? Just naturally ghafflebette, we guess…

JUDGE DREDD // The Citadel / Part Six!

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Home to over 160 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. 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…


Script: Ian Edginton / Art: Tiernen Trevallion/ Letters: Annie Parkhouse

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

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 of the night has a new position in the Uncivil Service…


Script: Ian Edginton / Art: Leigh Gallagher / Letters: Jim Campbell

KINGMAKER // Falls The Shadow / Part Twelve!

The Nine Kingdoms may have defeated Ichnar the Wraith King to live in relative peace, but they hadn’t reckoned on the Thorn — a race of aliens that occupied their world with the intention of strip-mining its magic. Wizard Ablard, ork Crixus and dryad Princess Yarrow believed they may have the means to stop them — and now Duke Eschatus has been thrown into space, meaning Crixus is ostensibly in charge…


Script: Arthur Wyatt / Art & Letters: Pye Parr

INTESTINAUTS // The Bowel Impactors / Part One!

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, where their accrued knowledge of the enemy will help them in future missions…


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

BRINK // Mercury Retrograde / Part Six!

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 …

Judge Dredd Megazine 442 is OUT NOW, with more thrills abound from Dredd, Diamond Dogs, Death Cap, Surfer and Lawless!

MEG 442 out now

Judge Dredd Megazine 442 is out now!

As you’d expect with 2000 AD having just celebrated its forty-fifth birthday, there’s lots going on in the House of Tharg this month, not least a very exciting online convention across the weekend of 26-27 March featuring a stunning line-up of special
guests from the world of comics and beyond.

Expect to see the likes of John Wagner, Garth Ennis, Sean Phillips, Alex De Campi, John McCrea, and Dan Cornwell alongside
Robin Ince, Ian Rankin, Mitch Benn, Dane Baptiste, and more to be announced. Head over to 2000AD.com, where there’ll be panels, interviews, announcements and exclusive merchandise!

Alas, some sad news reached us at the beginning of February that veteran Ro-Busters and Dan Dare artist Ian Kennedy had died, aged eighty-nine. An extraordinary talent, whose war-comics art is instantly recognisable, he had a remarkable career, drawing everything from Spitfires to spaceships, and numerous creators pay tribute to him in Karl Stock’s obituary this issue. Elsewhere, Karl also tracks down some of those writers and artists that briefly appeared in the GGC over the last four and a half
decades, and sees what they’re up to now. Enjoy, creeps!

JUDGE DREDD // Praise Zort! // Part Three!

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. This vast urban hell on the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America is home to over 160 million citizens. Unemployment is endemic, and crime is rampant. Stemming the tide of chaos are the Judges, future law-enforcers empowered to dispense instant justice. Toughest of them all is Judge Dredd – he is the Law! Now, he’s in Profundia to secure support for a vital vote…


Script: T.C. Eglington / Art: Boo Cook / Letters: Simon Bowland

DEATH CAP // Part Four!

The Cursed Earth, 2143 AD. This blasted, irradiated wilderness covers much of what’s left of post-apocalyptic twenty-second century North America. Here, mutants exiled from living in the Mega-Cities scratch out a meagre existence in ramshackle townships. Former Judge Anita Goya’s family have been massacred, and she’s gone on the hunt for the perpetrators, but she’s been infected with a fungal virus…


Script: James Peaty / Art: Warren Pleece / Letters: Simon Bowland

DIAMOND DOGS // III // Part Four!

Brit-Cit, 2143 AD. The remnants of old Britain still exist alongside the twenty-second century Mega-City, and these ruins are fought over by the Brit-Cit street gangs, who see them as valuable territory. Nia Jones used to run with the Diamond Dogs, but she’s also a Justice Dept informer, trying to buy her way out. Now, she’s working with Detective-Judge Armitage…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Phil Winslade / Letters: Jim Campbell

LAWLESS // Ballots Over Badrock // Part Four!

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, with the SJS also running things, Lawson’s decided to quit her post and run for mayor…


Script: John Wagner / Art: Colin MacNeil / Colours: Chris Blythe / Letters: Annie Parkhouse

SURFER // Part Four!

Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Skysurfing is one of the most popular pastimes in the twenty-second century metropolis, a sport that requires a great deal of skill and agility. Young Zane Perks is a particularly gifted surfer, and has just auditioned to be in a movie recreating the famous Supersurf 7. He’s won the part as the stunt stand-in for the lead actor…

PROG 2273 out now

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2273 is OUT NOW!

The vampire Constanta returns this prog in a new series of Fiends of the Eastern Front by Ian Edginton and Tiernen Trevallion. Having seen him on the Western Front in the First World War, and learnt of his origins, we fast-forward along the timeline to 1963, at the height of the Cold War, where the bloodsucker is an instrument of espionage.

Given the worrying events taking place in Europe at the time of writing, the idea of East vs West is unfortunately more on-point than anticipated — alongside Judge Dredd battling invading Sovs in The Citadel, sometimes Tharg’s powers of prescience scare even him.

Thankfully, you’ve also got the deep-space intrigue of Brink, the all-out alien action in Proteus Vex, and the epic fantasy of Kingmaker to distract you from impeding reality! There’s more distraction too in Meg 442, which is out right now, and features the latest instalments of Dredd, Death Cap, Surfer, Diamond Dogs and Lawless, plus the third chapter of Hawk the Slayer, a moving tribute to the late art-droid Ian Kennedy, and lots more.

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2272 is OUT NOW!

It’s that time of the week again, Thrill-hungry humanoids, when your circuits are given another good workout by the ghafflebette contents of Tharg’s illustrious organ.

As editor of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, it’s Tharg’s job to corral the Command Module’s team of creator-meks to bring you the finest stories in the known universe, and any droid not delivering one hundred per cent zarjazosity will face his terrifying Betelgeusian wrath. Thankfully, forever toiling under this very real threat means they’re committed to pushing their script and art talents to the maximum — and thus you have scrotnig progs like this one, where every strip thrums with sheer cosmic energy.

There’s explosive wartime action in Judge Dredd, sinister intrigue in Brink, deep-space conflict in Proteus Vex, left-field developments in the sword n’ sorcery saga that is Kingmaker, and darkness on the edge of time in the nerve-shredding finale to The Order: Fantastic Voyage!

But as 2000 AD rolls on, it means that standard must be maintained every seven days — so look out for new Fiends of the Eastern Front next issue!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2270 is OUT NOW!

Welcome to a bumper issue of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic this week, Terrans, as we celebrate an incredible forty-five years channelling Thrill-power.

It’s a remarkable achievement for a newsstand title to have weathered four and a half decades and still be here producing scrotnig stories every seven days, and it’s testament to the ghafflebette talents of our droids — script, art, lettering, colourists, editorial — that 2000 AD is globally renowned as one of the most important and influential anthologies to have been beamed into your reality.

And of course we wouldn’t be here without you loyal Squaxx so this prog we’re marking the forty-fifth milestone with new Thrills in Dredd and Brink, ongoing adventure in Proteus Vex, The Order and Kingmaker, and a couple of one-offs in Indigo Prime and a special tale from the Command Module.

Alas, some sad news reached us just as this issue was being assembled — ace art-droid Ian Kennedy passed away on 7 February 2022. His zarjaz work on Ro-Busters, Dan Dare and more is rightly legendary, and he will be much missed.

Welcome back to the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Terrans, for another hyper-blast of circuit-shattering excitement, courtesy of Tharg’s rivet-poppingly busy creator-meks.
