ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2481 is OUT NOW!
Call me Tharg The Mighty, for I am the emerald alien editor at the helm of this illustrious organ!
There’s a quite remarkable milestone this week — the Judge Dredd Complete Case Files series has reached volume fifty! These collections, compiling every Dredd story from the pages of the Galaxy’s Greatest and the Megazine in order of publication, have been a mainstay of my empire since 2005, and indeed the first volume remains my bestselling graphic novel, having had yet another reprint last year.
While packaging up every Dredd strip into convenient, phonebook-sized tomes seems these days, in your Terran terms, a no-brainer, this was the first time it had been done — Titan’s old albums in the eighties picked and chose select stories, and the newsstand titles Best of 2000 AD Monthly and The Complete Judge Dredd could only go so far. But the Case Files has been a runaway success, with an audience returning again and again to pick up each new volume.
Now we’re at fifty, reprinting tales from 2010-2011, some thirty-odd years after the lawman made his first appearance — such numbers could make your head spin, my Squaxx!
2000 AD Prog 2481 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!
JUDGE DREDD // CROSSED LINES, Part One
Mega-City One, 2147 AD. Home to over 250 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the toxic Black Atlantic to the east, and the irradiated Cursed Earth to the west. Tensions are on a knife-edge, crime is rampant, and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!
HELIUM // RED OCTOBER, Part Six
The far future. It has been three hundred years since the Great War ended, and eightyfive per cent of the Earth’s surface now lies beneath a gaseous ocean known as the Poison Belt. The survivors live above the lethal fugue, but a Professor Bloom has emerged from a city below the belt, claiming he can make the planet habitable again. Constable Hodge was tasked with protecting him, but it came at great cost…
SILVER // MALIGNANT, Part Five
Earth, the year 2001. A group of armed survivors sought out the resting place of a five hundred-year-old vampire, who may just help them against the alien Sepsis, who invaded the planet a few decades earlier. The vamp, called Baroness DeSilva, has proved powerful in battling the extra-terrestrials, and now, having aided the rebels in destroying Sepsis infrastructure, has just been instrumental in blowing up a nuclear facility…
BRINK // THE CALL OF THE VOID, Part Ten
The late 21st century, and through environmental catastrophe and industrial overload Earth has been reduced to a wasteland. Mankind finally evacuated the planet in 2072 and millions were housed in a number of deep-space Habitats. But life on these cramped, overcrowded stations is tense, often spilling over into madness. Sects are rife, and Bridget Kurtis of the Habitat Security Division is investigating their reach…
THARG’S 3RILLERS // POSTER GIRL, Part Two
Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of supercharged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! In the near future, the Avalon Project created supersoldiers to fight wars and protect the UK. Years later, these experimental troops are all dead, their identities mostly forgotten, but one group of journalists think they can track down a survivor…
