2000 AD Prog 2011 sees the return of Chris Weston (The Invisibles) to Judge Dredd and a brand new cover by veteran artist Cliff Robinson, plus everything from everyone behaving themselves in Mega-City One (briefly) to giant trans-dimensional worms and the continued rise of the Dark Judges!
This bumper 100-page issue is a veritable festive selection box of Thrill-powered treats, including traditional staples like Judge Dredd and Ace Trucking Co. alongside new favourites such as Aquila, Kingdom, The Order, and The Fall of Deadworld.
Plus, two brand new series debut this issue – in Kingmaker writer Ian Edginton (Hinterkind), artist Leigh Gallagher (Defoe), and letterer Ellie De Ville (ABC Warriors) take the long-worn tropes of JRR Tolkien and smash them into Star Warsfor a cross-genre tale about rebellion and ancient evil.
In noir magical thriller Hope by writer Guy Adams (Goldtiger), artist Jimmy Broxton (Knight and Squire), and letterer Simon Bowland (James Bond), it’s a 1940s Hollywood where victory in World War Two was achieved by occult means. Magic is now a part of daily life, but the costs can be high – especially for Mallory Hope, a magician and private investigator who only wants to find his wife and son.
And, last but not least, there’s a history of the 1980s’ ‘horror comic for girls’, Misty, as well as a special preview of Read Em and Weep, the new serial killer novel by Pat Mills set in the world of British comics, with illustrations by Kev O’Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)!
