2000AD Prog 295: “Die, Dredd!” Look out – there’s a “jimp” about! Zarjaz news for video gamers – inside!

Fresh from last prog's star pin-up of Dredd, Ron Smith's back for a Judge Dredd cover showing a scene from this prog's story. Tharg's Nerve Centre elucidates what the great news for video gamers mentioned on the cover is all about - it's later in this prog... Apparently (according to one earthlet) a recent government …

2000AD Prog 293: “Starbase one under attack!” Win the video game that talks to you!

All of Eric Bradbury's covers for 2000AD will be within the next two years, starting with this one of Tharg playing computer games against the Dictators of Zrag. Spoiler alert - four of his five covers feature Tharg and hte Dictators of Zrag. Tharg's Nerve Centre backs up the videogame-themed cover. Sam Slade, Robo-Hunter: Play …

White Dwarf No 36: “He’s tough… but he’s fair!”

This image by Brian Bolland also appeared on the cover of Time Out around the same time, so it might have been commissioned by them.  Edit: I just checked the Time Out cover was earlier in the year by about three months. I'll only cover the stuff in this magazine that will be of particular …

Judge Dredd: The Game of Crime-Fighting in Mega-City One

The box art is by Brian Bolland and shows a very colourful Dredd in blue, green and yellow (with little bits of fleshy pink and helmet red) in the midst of a sepia gallery of those he's come up against, including Fink, Ratty, Rico, Don Uggie, the rest of the Angel Gang, Judge Death, Orlok, …

Wargames Foundry 2000AD Miniatures

With the release of the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game from Warlord Games today, I've been looking at the last range of 2000AD-related figures to be released (pre-Warlord, that is - the Strontium Dog Miniatures Game range is still current, and has had some new releases recently). I'm not sure when Wargames Foundry acquired the licence, …

Star Lord No 8: Nazi World 2478 A.D. Time Control 85 Million B.C. Torn between impossible worlds…

This cover has Blocker and Suzi Cho in (what looks like) a Nazi jet as it straddles two time periods while stuck (?) in a time portal. Cho looks safe enough in Time Control, though Blocker is half in, half out of the portal, so let's hope it doesn't close before he gets all the …

2000AD Prog 11: Follow Me into the Sun… You will Share the Death of a Martian Warrior!

'Bollo' makes his first of many appearances this issue, depicting Commander Monday's last flight.  Bollo is, of course, Brian Bolland and while he has been responsible for many memorable comics (including that panel) he's just as well known for his many covers across British and American comics. Over the page, Eric Bradbury is back, showing …

2000AD Prog 8: 8 Full Colour Monster Pix!

The front and back covers on prog 8 are dedicated to Flesh (the back being for the Flesh card game, though you'll need to lose the last page of this week's Dredd to use them). First story up is Invasion! and it was a story I was familiar with from a reprinting in a special …

2000AD Prog 7: The Biogs from Planet Zircon are on the Rampage for their Main Fuel Supply… Earthmen!

As expected my slog got off to a pretty good start at the weekend but slowed to a crawl once pesky work got in the way. Not the snappiest of cover captions there (I considered trying to edit it down a little, but want to see how WordPress reacts to such a long title).  The …
