ATTENTION, EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Prog 2486 is OUT NOW!
I am The Mighty Tharg, all powerful alien editor of this illustrious, circuit-frying SF spectacular!
‘Frying’ is the word, Terrans, as this week’s edition of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic has been brought to you from a Command Module melting in an unseasonably scorching May heatwave. The creator-droids are leaving little puddles of liquid metal wherever they go (not, it has to be said, an unusual occurrence, but they’re not often steaming), and Cyber-Matt has to keep a fire extinguisher at his side in case the artwork ignites.
No doubt by the time you read these words in mid June, it’ll be business as usual, and the UK will have reverted to its default summer setting of grey skies and rain… but your planet is getting hotter, humes, and these record-breaking temperatures are becoming more frequent. You have to act to address the matter of climate change, or we’ll all be puddles on the ground of a baked Earth!
But in the meantime, find yourself a cool dark room and enjoy the zarjaz delights of this pulsepoundng prog, featuring the final instalment of Silver: Malignant, the penultimate parts of Helium and Judge Dee, plus Dredd & Brink!
2000 AD Prog 2486 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!

Now, the lawman has found himself trapped in a mysterious dungeon from where there is seemingly no escape..
HELIUM // RED OCTOBER, Part Eleven
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 Ten
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 Fifteen
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…
