Judge Dredd Megazine #377 out today!

Judge Dredd Megazine #377 hits shelves and digital today – and TWO new stories start this issue!

Firstly, we have the return of Angelic by Gordon Rennie and Lee Carter, continuing to take an alternate look at the early life of the notorious Texas City outlaw Pa Angel, and how he accumulated his bloodthirsty brood.

Secondly, we return to the Mega-City One of the 2012 DREDD movie but this time focus on young Cassandra Anderson for a story set shortly after the events of Peach Trees block. The Deep End by Alec Worley and Paul Davidson sees the young rookie coming to terms with life on the streets of this most dangerous metropolis.

Elsewhere, it’s the explosive finale to the Harry Heston-starring Monkey Business, there’s more monstrous action in Blunt, and alongside the next chapter of the Thrill-Power Overload update we have chats with Mega-City Zero authors Ulises Farinas and Erick Freitas as well as up-and-coming artist Tom Foster.

Judge Dredd Megazine #377 is available in print worldwide via Diamond Distribution and all good UK newsagents and comic book stores, as well as digitally from our webshop and apps!

Thrills as relentless as a runaway train can’t be avoided as Judge Dredd Megazine #375 hits shelves and digital today!

Metta Lawson battles hired goons on the non-stop to Tractionhead in the explosive double-length episode of Lawless, plus there’s a trippy instalment of jungle boogie in Blunt, the confrontation with Balaur is building to a peak in the penultimate part of Realm of the Damned, there’s a complete Dredd one-off from Michael Carroll and Ben Willsher, and Karl Stock chats with cover artist Ryan Brown.

Judge Dredd Megazine #373 out now!

There’s a double helping of Judge Dredd in the latest Judge Dredd Megazine – out now in print and digital!

Not only do we reach the explosive final episode of Dust to Dust but there’s also a complete Mega-City thriller from Ian Edginton and Dave Taylor as the lawman comes face to face with Bilious Barrage, a 22nd-century analogue of a certain UKIP leader.

With this issue going on sale just a week before Great Britain decides whether or not to stay in the European Union, it seemed an apposite time for Barrage’s brand of anti-foreigner rhetoric to come under the spotlight.

Plus there’s more blistering action in Lawless, Blunt, and Realm of the Damned, plus we have the first of the runners-up in the Dark Judges short-story competition.
