2000 AD Prog 2454 out now

ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2454 is OUT NOW!
I am The Mighty Tharg, your genial green guide to the outer limits of the Thrillverse!
We’re in a celebratory mood this week, Terrans, as Judge Dredd Megazine 485 hits the shelves alongside this pulse-pounding prog, and it’s a special milestone issue as the monthly celebrates an incredible thirty-five years of continuous publication.
Yes, hard as it may be to believe but the Dreddworld title first launched in 1990 with a ghafflebette line-up that included stone-cold classics such as America and Young Death: Boyhood of a Superfiend.
Three and a half decades later, it’s still here and still exploring the world of the future lawman — and a whole new raft of stories start in #485, including Anderson, Psi-Div, Megatropolis, Armitage and Dreadnoughts, plus Rob Williams & Colin MacNeil collaborate on the complete Dredd thriller Letter From America!
Add to that the latest instalment of Rok the God, chats with art-bot Peter Doherty, author Anna Smith Spark, and an advance look at the Judge Death Mega Special heading your way next week, and you have a Meg thrumming with vitality even as it inches towards middle age!
2000 AD Prog 2454 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!
