JUDGE DREDD // A MATTER OF LIFE & DREDD

Mega-City One, 2145 AD. Home to over 200 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America with the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west and the poisoned Black Atlantic to the east. Unemployment is rife, 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!


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Tazio Bettin / Colours: Matt Soffe / Letters: Jim Campbell

AZIMUTH // SNOW ZONE

Welcome to the city of AZIMUTH, a data-driven metropolis, where anything is possible. Ruled by an aristocracy of the New Flesh, such concepts of life, death, and body-forms are fluid. Anyone can take any shape, if it can be conceived by the imagination. The New Flesh masters have been troubled by strange dreams and portents, which seem to have predicted the coming of a stranger — none other than Ramone Dexter…


Script: Torunn Grønbekk / Art: Kieran McKeown / Colours: Pippa Bowland / Letters: Rob Steen

ANDERSON, PSI-DIVISION // THE GAME WITHIN

Mega-City One, 2145 AD. Psi-Division is a section of Justice Department that specialises in Judges with accentuated psychic talents — from precognition to exorcism, astral projection to pyrokinesis, its operatives deal with all manner of paranormal crimes. Cassandra ANDERSON is Psi-Div’s top telepath, who has been responsible for saving the city on a number of occasions from supernatural threats…


Script: Ian Edginton / Art: Tiernen Trevallion / Letters: Jim Campbell

FIENDS OF THE EASTERN FRONT // SILENT KNIGHT

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 person to meet Constanta — the vampire has popped up throughout history, in various countries and under various guises, and in Romania he ruled over his cowed subjects…


Script: Rufus Hound / Art: Dan Cornwell / Colours: Dylan Teague / Letters: Simon Bowland

STRONTIUM DOG // ALPHA

Late 22nd century. After the Atomic Wars, many survivors were warped by the Strontium 90 fallout. These ‘mutants’ became a victimised underclass, forced into ghettos, and the only job open to them was bounty hunting. One such Search/Destroy agent, or STRONTIUM DOG, is Johnny Alpha, whose eyes emit piercing alpha waves. Partnered with his Viking buddy Wulf Sternhammer, they’re good men in a bad galaxy…


Script: Geoffrey D. Wessel / Art: Simon Coleby / Colours: F. Segala & S. Del Grosso / Letters: Rob Steen

ROGUE TROOPER // RUNAWAY

Nu Earth, site of a galactic war between the Norts and the Southers, where use of chemical weapons has rendered the atmosphere poisonous. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the planet’s lethal cocktail of pollutants — G.I.s like ROGUE TROOPER, the last of his kind. Together with biochip buddies Helm, Gunnar and Bagman, they’re searching for the traitor that sold them out…


Script: Ian Edginton / Art: D’Israeli / Letters: Simon Bowland

HELIUM // SCORCHED EARTH, Part Eleven

The far future. It has been three hundred years since the Great War ended, and eighty-five per cent of the Earth’s surface now lies beneath a gaseous ocean known as the Poison Belt — a toxic cocktail of biological weapons. The survivors live above the lethal fugue, but a Professor Bloom has emerged, claiming he can make the planet habitable again. Constable Hodge is tasked with protecting him, but they’ve been followed…


Script: Peter Milligan / Art: Rufus Dayglo / Colours: Jose Villarrubia / Letters: Jim Campbell

THE DEVIL’S RAILROAD // Part Ten

The Earth year 3038, and Planet Diaspora X-167 is a world that has been ravaged by war, a conflict that sees no sign of ending despite years of death and destruction. One couple, Palamon and Constance, are attempting to escape the caranage, especially now that Constance is pregnant — if the baby is born on Earth, it’ll have full Earth rights. Seeking a new life, these refugees must take a risky journey…


Script: Cavan Scott / Art: Luke Horsman / Letters: Simon Bowland

ENEMY EARTH // BOOK THREE, Part Three

The near future. Mother Nature has turned against the people that live upon the Earth’s surface. Now, the planet’s flora and fauna have mutated and are viciously attacking humanity. As society crumbles, and survivors seek safety, young Zoe, who has lost her own family, has rescued Jules, who’s the prime minister’s son. Now, the PM and the two youths have been shot down en route to India, crashing in the jungle…


Script: Dan Abnett / Art: Richard Elson / Letters: Jim Campbell

FERAL & FOE // BAD GODESBERG, Part Eleven

It’s been over five years since the Last-of-All-War, when the Monarchy succeeded in defeating the Malign Lord. With their leader dead, his minions are scattered, fleeing retribution from the Wretchfinders. Necromancer Bode and warrior Wrath are two such beings, and were offered a deal — hunt and kill their own kind or be declared FERAL & FOE. Now, they’ve travelled to Godesberg, a stronghold that’s in trouble…

Drokk the Halls! Rufus Hound joins 2000 AD 100-page Christmas spectacular – pre-order now!

2000 AD Prog 2362

The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic marks the end of another year with the traditional festive blowout – a 100-page mega-special featuring brand-new stories and a surprise creative guest!

2000 AD Prog 2362 is out on the 13th December – and you can pre-order this special issue now, with FREE postage within the U.K.

Within its pages you will find an all-new Strontium Dog story by comedian and actor Rufus Hound, with artist Dan Cornwell!

We spoke to the newly-anointed Hound droid about joining the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic and he bleeped back: “I’d never believed that I’d get a chance like this. That ACTUAL 2000 AD would ask me – ME! – to write so much as a single syllable for their illustrious pages. Not only that, but to be given the opportunity to reimagine something from the golden era of Strontium Dog? Proper dream come true stuff.”

In Strontium Dog: ‘Alpha’, Johnny and Wulf are en-route to the planet Aminovarm in the hold of a star cruiser when Johnny intervenes in a domestic incident. When the son gives Johnny an alien delicacy as a thank you gift, things go south and psychedelic in equal amounts! Hound described the story:

“Johnny Alpha always had it hard, but kept his upper-lip stiff and his chin granite-like. However, what if a diary of his was discovered? Something that peeled away a later or two of the man? That allowed us some insight into the mind of Johnny Alpha, not merely marvel at his tough-as-hell actions. That’s what ‘Alpha’ is.

I’ve filled my story with classic SD references, but I hope the greatest act of fan service is the tale itself. I’ve tried to give Wulf and Johnny something that I think most fans have always craved for them, whilst still letting them be Johnny and Wulf. With Carlos’ passing, getting this right seems even more important somehow. I just hope the amount of love and hard work I’ve lavished on it shines through.

The 100-page Spectacular will continue ongoing stories Feral & FoeHeliumEnemy Earth and The Devil’s Railroad, but they’re joined by a heavenly host of one-off stories: a new Judge Dredd tale by Ken Niemand & Tom Foster, Azimuth by Dan Abnett & Tazio BettinRogue Trooper by Geoffrey D. Wessel & Simon ColebyFiends of the Eastern Front by Ian Edginton & Tiernen TrevallionAnderson, Psi-Div by Torunn Gronbekk & Kieran McKeown, and Strontium Dog by Rufus Hound & Dan Cornwell!

All this wrapped inside a classic and chaotic cover from Cliff Robinson and Dylan Teague? Grud bless us, every one!

On sale 13 December, Prog 2362 isn’t a Christmas stocking-stuffer – it’s a Yuletide mind-expander! Pre-Order it today from the 2000 AD webshop!

Dredd vs Zombies – The Darkest Judge collection out now!

It’s the smash hit 2000 AD multiverse mega-crossover ‘undead event’ – and it’s out now as a complete collection!

Published in 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine last summer, this self-contained, multi-part epic sold out from newsagents and comic shops – but is now presented in one collection featuring work by Ken Niemand, Henry Flint, Mike Carroll, Gary Erskine, Emma Beeby, Neil Googe, Karl Stock, Kieran McKeown, Dan Abnett, Russell M.

And 200 copies are available for 2000 AD subscribers to order online through the 2000 AD webstore – 2000 AD subscribers can log into their account and order a copy of this limited run now.

Over thirty years since the end of the world was averted by Judge Dredd and mutant bounty hunter Johnny Alpha in 1994’s ‘Judgement Day‘ by Garth Ennis, Dean Ormston, Peter Doherty, Chris Halls, and Carlos Ezquerra, The Darkest Judge is a blistering ‘what if?’ that sees the myriad of worlds from 2000 AD’s 45 years converge in an explosion of death and destruction!

Instead of Dredd and Alpha executing Sabbat the Necromagus, they drop dimension-bombs to shift the whole zombie horde into a different reality – this means disaster for all the other characters published in the pages of 2000 AD, as the zombies infect everyone from Rogue Trooper to Sinister Dexter, from Ace Trucking to The V.C.s. There is now a whole multiverse of zombies that need killing, and only a few heroes left to take care of business!

Judge Dredd: The Darkest Judge is the epic event you don’t want to miss – order now from your local book or comic book shop, or through one of the retailers listed above!

Coming this Autumn – a Strontium Dog for your shelf!

He’s the mutant bounty hunter taking down the scum of the galaxy – and now you can have your own Strontium Dog for your shelf!

The newest licensed merchandise from 2000 AD is Fish Collectibles’ 1:6 scale statue of Johnny Alpha, the ultimate Strontium Dog! Successfully funded on Kickstarter, this 12 inch-tall (305mm) statue is made of polystone and will debut at the Rebellion/2000 AD booth (#2121) at San Diego Comic Con in July.

Paying tribute to the stunning design of co-creator Carlos Ezquerra and using feedback from fans, Fish Collectibles have created a sculpt closely resembling the classic image of Johnny Alpha, the teenage leader of the mutant rebellion in a 22nd Century Britain where the victims of nuclear war are shunned by ‘Norm’ society and herded into ghettos.

The paint-master and tooling are currently with a factory in Hong Kong for manufacture and the finished statues should land in the UK in the last quarter of 2023. The Fish Collectibles Johnny Alpha statue will retail for £165 plus shipping (which will be under £10 within the UK), but you can secure yours now with just a £40 deposit at fishcollectibles.com

The success of the Johnny Alpha statue will dictate future release, with 500 sales allowing the range to continue with Rogue Trooper.

One of 2000 AD’s most popular ever series, Strontium Dog is an epic sci-fi Western created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra that debuted in Starlord2000 AD’s short-lived sister title, in 1978.

One of the most iconic strips in the history of British comics, the bounty hunters of the Search/Destroy Agency – derisively dubbed ‘Strontium Dogs’ – are members of a persecuted minority of mutated humans, their bodies warped by Strontium 90 fallout, who are despised by the ‘Norm’ population, barred from public life, and herded into ghettos.

The only job open to them is as bounty hunters and, from the orbiting ‘Doghouse’ base, Johnny Alpha and his Viking partner, Wulf Sternhammer head out to track down criminals for cold, hard cash – from deep space to Hell itself, from Adolf Hitler to Ronald Reagan! 

The series has had a cultural impact far beyond its pages, with director Edgar Wright and actor Simon Pegg famously citing the death of Johnny Alpha in their acclaimed comedy TV series Spaced.

With 45 years of stories, it may be intimidating to jump into a series like Strontium Dog, so this is a reading guide to the collections available from Rebellion. The new series of hardcover books, Strontium Dog: Search & Destroy, is the ideal place to see the original stories in all their glory, with colour pages lovingly restored and reproduced; the series is now replacing the four smaller greyscale Strontium Dog: S/D Agency Files collections. These contain the ‘classic’ run of the series by John Wagner, Alan Grant, and Carlos Ezquerra – with early stories with art by Brett Ewins, Brendan McCarthy and Ian Gibson. The modern collections The Kreeler Conspiracy, Traitor to His Kind, and Blood Moon are flashback stories, and following the death of Johnny Alpha in The Final Solution the series restarted with The Life and Death of Johnny Alpha and culminated in The Son, the collection of Carlos Ezquerra’s final work before his death in 2018.

For 45 years they’ve been taking down the scum of the galaxy and to celebrate the anniversary of the debut of Strontium Dog, Rebellion has unveiled a brand new slate of merchandise!

From T-shirts to pint glasses, from mugs to iron-on patches, the new anniversary Strontium Dog range is the perfect gift for the mutant bounty hunter in your life.

This new line of merchandise is inspired by and pays homage to one of 2000 AD’s most popular ever series, an epic sci-fi Western created by writer John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra that debuted in Starlord, 2000 AD’s short-lived sister title, in 1978.

One of the most iconic strips in the history of British comics, the bounty hunters of the Search/Destroy Agency – derisively dubbed ‘Strontium Dogs’ – are members of a persecuted minority of mutated humans, their bodies warped by Strontium 90 fallout, who are despised by the ‘Norm’ population, barred from public life, and herded into ghettos.

The only job open to them is as bounty hunters and, from the orbiting ‘Doghouse’ base, Johnny Alpha and his Viking partner, Wulf Sternhammer head out to track down criminals for cold, hard cash – from deep space to Hell itself, from Adolf Hitler to Ronald Reagan! 

The series has had a cultural impact far beyond its pages, with director Edgar Wright and actor Simon Pegg famously citing the death of Johnny Alpha in their acclaimed comedy TV series Spaced.

The new line of merchandise, available from the Rebellion online store, pays tribute to this popular and influential series, referencing key locations and individuals from the rich history of the last 45 years, all of it coming from the fertile imaginations of Ezquerra, Wagner and his writing partner, the late Alan Grant. 

Designed by Salvador Lavado – who has worked with major brands and international artists including John Williams, Metallica, Jay-Z, Mercury Records and many more – the new merchandise digs deep into the history and lore of the strip to produce designs that will delight fans while remaining intriguing to those unfamiliar with the landmark series.

The new T-shirts reference just some of the series’ legendary weaponry – including ‘Westinghouse’, the supplier of Johnny Alpha’s preferred Variable Blaster firearm, and the iconic ‘Electronux’ electrical stun knuckle-duster, while posing as an employee of the famous ‘Doghouse’ space station. There is a fun ‘Sternhammer Ale’ design which pays tribute to Wulf’s legendary thirst and love of good company, while another advertises the services of the Gronk, Alpha and Sternhammer’s weak-hearted medic.

And thirsty bounty hunters will be able to quench their thirst with the first Strontium Dog pint glasses – featuring the ‘Sternhammer Ale’ and the ‘Property of The Doghouse’ designs – as well as a mug from the Doghouse Canteen and others sporting the ‘Doghouse’ and ‘Westinghouse’ designs.

The new range of Strontium Dog merchandise is available now from the Rebellion online store at shop.rebellion.com
