Après Dredd : Underbelly et Dredd Uprise, le scénariste Arthur Wyatt retrouve le Juge Dredd qu’inspira le film de Pete Traviss lors d’une nouvelle aventure à paraitre dans le célèbre mensuel Judge Dredd Megazine à partir du 367ème numéro.
Au programme, on retrouve aussi le créateur John Wagner ; l’auteur Paul Grist ; des artistes comme Sean Philips, Richard Elson, Steve Yeowell et bien d’autres.
En l’an 2000, le mensuel Judge Dredd Megazine fête ses dix ans ; 18 ans plus tard et quelques billets critiques [Pour en savoir +] autour de la série et du personnage Lenny Zero permettront d’éclairer un petit pan de l’histoire de la bédé britannique, et de dire tout le bien que je pense de cette série.
Qui en plus de ses qualités propres est un formidable point d’entré dans l’univers du Judge Dredd et de Mega-City One.
Tout commence avec une couverture commandée à Frank Miller …
We round out 2023 with another packed Megazine, capping a high-octane twelve months!
The current arc of Lawless wraps up in spectacular fashion with a double-length finale as Lawson leads the assault on Fugly’s mansion, plus Johnny Red also comes to a close. Elsewhere, there’s a seasonal sequel to last year’s Dollman story as Dredd finds himself dealing once again with L’il Tommy Kinder and his nefarious schemes, courtesy of Ken Niemand and Paul Marshall, and we have the latest instalments of DeMarco, P.I. and Spector.
Also complete this issue is Judge Dredd: Deviations by John McCrea, a ‘what if…?’ one-off originally published by IDW that looks at what would’ve happened if Ol’ Stoney-Face stayed as a lycanthrope after the events of Cry of the Werewolf.
Add to that chats with artists Mike Collins and Gary Welsh, there’s a spotlight on the late Oliver Frey, artist on many an eighties computer-mag cover as well as Trigan Empire, and Rufus Hound reveals his Squaxx credentials as he scripts the Stront story in the Xmas prog. Enjoy the festivities, citizens, and see you in 2024!

Those of you born in the seventies and grew up in the eightiest are just the right age to appreciate the Scarred For Life books, which celebrate (and perhaps question too) the weirdness of popculture during these decades, from public-information films to children’s TV, sweets to urban legends.
The first two self-published doorstop tomes have just been joined by a third volume, which examines life under the shadow of the Bomb, and naturally focuses a chapter on The Apocalypse War, which was originally published when nuclear fear was at its height. In this issue, Scott Montgomery chats to the SFL authors about how formative 2000 AD was for an audience terrified by Threads and When the Wind Blows.
Elsewhere, there’s chats with artists Mark Farmer, Paul McCaffrey and Gemma Sheldrake, a look at the return of 2000 AD fanzine Zarjaz, plus a whole bunch of stories wrap up as Dredd, Harrower Squad, Dreadnoughts and Armitage all reach their final episodes. It clears the decks for next month’s crossover event Nordland Rising, in which the Norts from the Rogue Trooper universe wage war on the worlds of 2000 AD!
Judge Dredd Megazine#471 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 the Megazine in the first month of its release then postage in the UK is free!
No such thing as a Merry Christmas in the big Meg, but here in the Mighty Megazine we’ve got plenty to keep you entertained over the festive period!
Ken Niemand and Paul Marshall team up for a particularly brutal and bloody Xmas tale in Judge Dredd: Coming to Town, plus there’s the latest instalments of Devlin Waugh, Lawless, Death Cap, Fargo & McBane, Cadet Rico and Riley’s Rebels.
Elsewhere, there’s a chat with writer and artist Andy Lanning, Garth Ennis and Mike Perkins reveal the secrets of their new comic Freddie the Fix, Ron Turner’s artistic career is celebrated in a new book, and we turn the spotlight on the late writer Harry Harrison as the trio of Stainless Steel Rat adaptations that were published in 2000 AD gets the all-colour omnibus treatment. This issue also sees the final part of False Witness, the last of the IDW Dredd stories that we’ve been reprinting.
Replacing it next month will be the start of the first series of Rok of the Reds, John Wagner, Alan Grant and Dan Cornwell’s epic tale of Earthbound aliens, obnoxious football players, and the joy of the well-struck strike. Be here next month, and Happy New Year, creeps!
