I was taken to the third level of Arg by a military police A.T. After leaving the arena on the second level, we descended to the third level using the elevator in the main tower. The military police A.T. “Wheel Dog” led me down a straight street from the elevator...

Covarn led the way out of the room and descended the sloping stairs. Seemingly accustomed to the layout, Ronni followed closely behind me, opening the heavy iron door at the bottom of the stairs. It was the A.T. maintenance area. Two iron pillars crossed the ceiling, with pulleys attached. It...

It’s been around for over 48 years as of this writing. Not only is 2000AD NOT slowing down, it’s speeding up. This run of progs in particular demonstrates how a comic can be vital, innovative, and relevant while staying true to its core concepts. Classic characters still led the charge....

As the Megazine crossed its 30th year, the cover price was steady at £5.99 until it jumped with issue 451 due to a new format change. After 176 issues, the 64-page supplement comic that came bundled with the Megazine was discontinued; those 64 pages were now included in the issue...

Arg City is one of the giant layered cities scattered across northern Melkia. Originally designed to accommodate over 20 million people, the city’s population has been reduced to less than one-tenth of its original size due to decline caused by wars and ground collapse centered around the western block, resulting...

Over this two-year stretch, the galaxy’s greatest comic passed its 45th anniversary while the cover price bumped from £3.10 to £3.25, still a bargain compared to the content. The all-ages “Regened” issues became a regular event, about four times a year. As before, each was self-contained for the purpose of...

Any way you looked at it, £5.99 was a bargain; every issue was 64 pages and came bundled with a 64-page reprint collection of stories from 2000AD or elsewhere. You could find five ongoing comics inside with a generous helping of articles and reviews. Issue 400 was even thicker with...

Tragic news greeted this batch of progs when one of the greatest artists in 2000AD history, Carlos Ezquerra, died on October 1, 2018. His work went all the way back to the very beginning as the designer of Judge Dredd. Once he started drawing regular strips, not a year went...

The cover price migrated up from £5.60 to £5.99, but the format during this run was as stable as could be with four main story slots (one for Dredd, two or three from Dredd’s world and sometimes one independent) and a smattering of articles that included writer/artist interviews, movie and...
