I understand that Rebellion has sent out royalty cheques for the Complete Zenith Hardcover have gone out to Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell. As well as a

SWIPE CRIMES 2000AD readers look at three-and-a-half decades of swipes in the comic IF THIS BE A GRANT Autostraddle looks at Hazel Newlevant's comic work, in the light of her being awarded the Queer Press Grant from Prism Comics.  They awarded this grant to Newlevant specifically for her queer-lady-and-blues-music comics If This Be Sin and Dance the Blues[...]

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[...]

  The limited edition Zenith hardcover from Rebellion, planned to be sent out to 1000 buyers in December will be shipping a couple of months early,

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. Among those queuing to get books signed was the granddaughter of 2000AD letterer Tom Frame who introduced herself much to Alan's delight and he shared stories about getting drunk with Tom on a semi-regular basis, including one night in Kings Cross when two pool[...]

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[...]

From the Thought Bubble Anthology 2013, out in November from Image Comics... the Elephantmen/Judge Dredd crossover from Richard Starkings and Boo Cook.

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,[...]

Si Spurrier reminds us that there's a 2000AD-esque signing at Forbidden Planet and London today, 6-7pm Rob Williams, Al Ewing and Si Spurrier, celebrating the release of the big unholy Dredd-world crossover thing, Trifecta. Wordburglar lets us know that on Saturday, the 3rd Annual Nerd Noise Night will be taking place at Fan Expo Toronto, where[...]

The Guardian has been in the news itself of late. On one hand we have the boyfriend of their chief reporter on the Edward Snowden story getting held and

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[...]

Proofs of the Zenith hardcover as they arrive at Rebellion. I understand that there are legal moves afoot from Scotland. Everyone stand around in the

Swierczynski introduced[...]

British journalist Laura Sneddon has been writing a series of articles for The Beat, breaking down the legal quagmire of comic books created for 2000AD, when it was part of IPC, Fleetway and Rebellion Those who managed to reclaim their creator ownership of concepts, those who didn't and what this might mean for the situation[...]

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. But what do other 2000AD creators think? Here[...]

I'm sure the other nominees are cursing under their breaths that 2000AD is finally a nominee, for it winning Best Anthology should be a no-brainer. Who I think could win: No Straight Lines: Four Decades of Queer Comics, edited by Justin Hall (Fantagraphics) What we have here is an important part of comic book history[...]

We ran the story first this morning. As well as highlighting some of the issues this may raise. But for now... here's the video trailer for the Complete

Cameron Hatheway writes; 2000AD Prog 1833 by Glenn Fabry An absolutely beautiful cover from Fabry to start things off this week Cadet Anderson's hair blowing in the wind is so sexy, even when that's not her intent The use of reds, the shadowing in the face, the wrinkled aged leather in her uniform all play vital parts[...]

Getting underway live from C2E2 is the Dredd and 2000AD panel (I was hoping that Zenith t-shirt might indicate an announcement forthcoming, but alas, not during this panel Panel has ended, the embedded stream will resume with other C2E2 programming tomorrow ) Getting underway live from C2E2 is the Dredd and 2000AD panel[...]

See, it's not just for Brian Bolland. Cam Kennedy is getting his shot at a truly massive collection of his Judge Dredd work, as a "Complete Cam Kennedy"

Here is the cover to Dredd #8 by Howard Chaykin, and coloured by Jesus Aberto, posted by IDW EIC Chris Ryall;   And a drawing, finished and unfinished, by 2000AD artist Lee Carter As website Everything Comes Back To 2000AD points out the Lawgivers, the Judge's motorbikes are damn near identcal… Drokk! In Swipe File we present two[...]

This is the first page from next week's 2000AD. Yes, folks, we have Big Gay Judge Dredd. Or course I could say that this is a sensitive story about the law, sexuality, society, parenral expectations and standing up for what you believe But that will never sell copies of 2000AD next week ehen it comes[...]

Are your panties moist yet? Mine certainly are. 2000AD Prog 1815 by Darren Douglas Dredd in action always makes for an excellent cover, especially when the situation calls for jousting with guns Watching scum fly left and right as they eat both pavement and bullets is disgustingly beautiful, as Mega-City One bustles on in the background[...]

Brian Bolland doesn't do that many signings. So his appearance at Forbidden Planet in London this Saturday for a whole hour is a rare one, signing copies
