2000ad Archives

Thumbs up to Dead Boy Detectives #2 on many fronts—the writing is strong, the colors are interesting, the linework is really well suited to the story being told. We've had some advanced reviews of Dredd: Underbelly from 2000AD on Bleeding Cool, so I was already aware of the comic and the generally favorable responses it's been[...]

Well, in mid-2013 we renewed our contract for six more issues plus a X-Mas special, and recently for another of six issues run plus a bunch of specials! My feeling is that more 2000AD material will attract more fans till we establish Dredd as a top character in Brazil. The appeal to Brazilian readers is hard[...]

Trolls", the new series Black Shuck is coming in July and will be the first time the prolific comics team of Leah Moore and John Reppion will appear in the pages of 2000AD 2000AD allowing for this mythological angle was a good way to get the duo to come on board though, given their passion[...]

Rebellion's book lines – Abaddon and Solaris, and comic line – ranging from 2000AD to Judge Dredd Megazine and a slew of collected trades of comics appearing therein, though smaller than their gaming empire, still form quite a sizable "nerve center" at their home offices The impressive relevance of 2000AD and Judge Dredd internationally right[...]

It was 2000AD's event of last year, from three separate creative teams that no one realised was an event until it was too late Trifecta, three stories, three conceptual concepts, one conclusion.

And then I'd started looking at 2000AD, and I found an issue of Warrior I suddenly realized that the same guy was in all of these things doing different stuff You recognize the name Every comic fan does that–you recognize writers and you recognize artists I'm lucky enough that I was reading it as it[...]

Judge Dredd, Slaine, and 2000AD tick at least three of those boxes this year (let's leave the "responsible" thing out after all). At New York Comic Con, the British Invasion, an "hour of sheer farce", as we were warned, brought us all the "celebration" behind the 36 years The panel started with a massive shout-out spelling[...]

Even the ethos behind it was in line with 2000AD; punky, inventive, a scrappy outsider fighting a sea of bigger movies. Unfortunately, in financial terms (And don't even get me started on Box office success as a measure of artistic worth) it didn't do so well As a result, the promised sequel featuring the Dark Judges[...]

That's him with Avatar publisher (and publisher of Bleeding Cool) William Christensen above.

Here are a few of the more 2000AD comic-book inspired ones Including our favourite above, ALDREDD Cook tells me; In September 1991 I created the fake Megapolitan cover for the back of the Judge Dredd Megazine, starring Sophie Aldred and with cover lines by David Bishop. This was published, but there were also a couple of variant[...]

Gary Gray, our Senior Scottish Correspondent, writes; There were a number of 2000AD creators who had their own events to celebrate and discuss their own projects outside 2000AD But how could the organisers not do a, get the band back together type thing, and arrange a joint talk. They managed to grab a hold of David Bishop,[...]

Cameron Hatheway writes; 2000AD Prog 1843 by Carl Critchlow I just love the annoyed look on Dredd's face, as if being pulled-under by giant tentacles is a regular occurrence for him He'll dive in begrudgingly, but he can't deal with the situation for too long because Project Runway is on at 9 and he forgot to record[...]

One of superstar-writer Grant Morrison's earliest creations, the celebrity-pop-star-wunderkind-cum-superhero saga has of late been endlessly dogged by disputes over who owns the rights to republish the stories originally printed in the pages of 2000AD – meaning that TPB printings of some of the earlier Zenith stories have long been out of print (and commanded ridiculously[...]

Titan Books were forced to pulp a previous print run of Zenith books the last time this came up, Diamond Comic Distributors are famously risk verse when it comes to legal matters and will not distribute comics under legal challenge, no matter what the merits of the case.
