Rebellion has announced the 2000AD 50th Anniversary Special, a 60-page standalone issue containing five new stories featuring characters from each decade of the comic’s history. That includes a new Judge Dredd story by writer John Wagner, who co-created the character, and artist Dan Cornwell. Nikolai Dante returns as well, with a new story by co-creators Robbie Morrison and Simon Fraser. Morrison will also script a new Robo-Hunter Sam Slade story, with art by Mike Perkins. Ian Edginton and Steve Yeowell collaborate on a tale of Captain Jack Dancer and the crew of The Red Seas, and writer Dan Abnett and artist INJ Culbard celebrate the most recent era of 2000 AD with a new Brink story. The issue will be released on February 24, 2027, with a cover by Brian Bolland and an MSRP of $10.99.
Rebellion, which is distributed in the U.S. by Lunar (see “Distribution News“) will start publishing compact comics collections in January 2027 (see “Rebellion Announces ‘Judge Dredd’ Compact Comics”).
