JUDGE DREDD // A BETTER WORLD, Part Six

Mega-City One, 2146 AD. Home to over 200 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only future cops the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, Accounts Judge Maitland has been conducting an experiment in Sector 304 in a bid to reduce crime…

THARG’S 3RILLERS // THE ENGLISH ASTRONAUT, Part Three

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of super-charged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! Earth, November 1963, and Major Thomas Anderson became the subject of a British Experimental Space Programme project. Locked into the Injection Seat, he took a cocktail of drugs that plunged him into 2023, but he’s affecting reality around him…

FULL TILT BOOGIE // BOOK TWO, Part Three

Tee was paid to rescue the Luxine Prince Ifan from his debtors’ prison. In the process, she encountered a resurrected Anubite warrior, a member of the enemy race with whom the Luxine Empire was at war. Now, they’ve sought refuge on Tanzagar…


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

ENEMY EARTH // BOOK THREE, Part Ten

The near future. Mother Nature has turned against the people that live upon the Earth’s surface, and 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, he’s being used by the military as a way to control the creatures — and aliens have arrived…

THISTLEBONE // THE DULE TREE, Part Six

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…

Welcome, Thrill-seekers, to your latest weekly blast of circuit-scorching excitement, courtesy of my rivet-bustingly busy creator droids.

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2365 is OUT NOW!

Tharg The Mighty here, Thrill-connoisseur from Quaxxann, bringing you your weekly action!

Alas the melancholy news continues into 2024 — after reporting Ian Gibson’s death last prog, all of us here in the Command Module were very sad to hear that Judge Dredd, Nikolai Dante and The Order artist John Burns died on 29 December.

Although John chose to retire last year — you’ll be able to read the last series he contributed to, the Kek-W-scripted Nightmare, New York, at some point in the near future, with David Roach taking over on art duties — he leaves behind an incredible body of work, with a generation of readers encountering his pages in different titles. His career started in the late fifties, and in the sixties he was drawing for the likes of TV Century 21 and girls’ comics such as Diana and June as well as daily newspaper strips. By the seventies and eighties, he could be found in TV Comic, Eagle and Look-In, illustrating UFO, The Bionic Woman and The Fists of Danny Pyke, before making his 2000 AD debut in 1991.

One of the last of the old-school painters, his glorious pages were beautiful to hold and pore over, channelling decades of experience in comics. RIP, John.

2000 AD Prog 2364 out now!

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2364 is OUT NOW!

I am The Mighty Tharg, all-powerful alien super-being at the helm of this SF anthology!!

Due to the inevitable delay in interstellar shipping, it means that that this prog is sent to the print-bots a couple of weeks before Xmas, but you Squaxx won’t see it until the second week of January. As a consequence, this news has already circulated widely online, but nevertheless I must pay tribute to art-droid Ian Gibson, who sadly passed away on 11 December after a long battle with cancer.

One of 2000 AD’s longest-serving artists, contributing to the first Dredd multi-parter The Robot Wars in 1977, and going on to draw a huge number of classic Dredd stories as well as co-creating Robo-Hunter with John Wagner and The Ballad of Halo Jones with Alan Moore, he leaves an extraordinary legacy in the pages of the Galaxy’s Greatest.

With his unmistakable style, combining humour, action and beautiful characterisation, he was a brilliant storyteller — whether it was the crazed robots in Verdus, the gang war in Rumble in the Jungle or future-war on Moab in Halo Jones, he could handle it all, and the pages glowed with energy and excitement.

Rest in peace, Ian. You will be much missed.

2000 AD Prog 2364 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!
