The incredible folk-horror that digs deep into your skin: Thistlebone Book Three: The Dule Tree is now available to pre-order!
It’s been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Easton back to the village of Harrowvale, where she suffered at the hands of THISTLEBONE worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity. One man in the village, Malcolm Kinniburgh, was keeping the Thistlebone legend alive — but now he’s dead, and his house is being cleared…
After the death of Kinniburgh, the local Harrowvale constabulary find clues that lead them to investigate the abandoned film production of a 1970s folk horror film, The Dule Tree. Based on a harrowing account from the seventeen hundreds where thirteen innocent women and one man were hanged during the witch trials, the film itself ran into production problems, the source of which has remained a mystery for fifty years.
Out on 11th June 2025, the nerve-jangling third instalment in the critically-acclaimed 2000 AD series is available to pre-order from all good book stores and online retailers, as well as direct from the 2000 AD webshop!

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!

THISTLEBONE // THE DULE TREE, Part Ten
Britain, 2020. It’s been over a year since journalist Seema Chaudry accompanied cult survivor Avril Easton back to the village of Harrowvale, where she suffered at the hands of THISTLEBONE worshippers, a crazed occult group that believed in an ancient woodland deity. One man in the village, Malcolm Kinniburgh, was keeping the Thistlebone legend alive — but it seems to be connected with an old ‘70s horror film…
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!
2000 AD Prog 2372 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 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!
