Reading time: 2 minutes
Kick off your shoes and grab your shades, Earthlets. The 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special 2026 has arrived. It's here to fill your Summer with dread and delight!
The issue boasts a stunning cover from 2000 AD legend Liam Sharp. Inside, you'll find all-new stories starring Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, and Judge Death. There's also a surprise new Thriller featuring the return of the King of Crime himself: Stickleback.
The creative line-up is packed with talent. Contributors include Ian Edginton, D'Israeli, T.C. Eglington, Boo Cook, Anthony Williams, and Kek-W. It's a perfect jump-on point for new readers. Anyone wanting a standalone slice of Thrill-Power this July is well served. Better still, the Special is going global, as Lunar Distribution will make it available for international orders.
This year's apocalyptic line-up kicks off with a new Judge Dredd story. T.C. Eglington and Boo Cook take the reins as The Lawman of the Future tackles a fresh case. A case that will test his judgement to the limit.
Strontium Dog also returns to the pages of 2000 AD. Legendary artist Colin MacNeil joins writer Karl Stock. Together, they send Johnny Alpha and his team after the galaxy's hottest bounties.
There's more to savour as the zarjaz team of Andi Ewington and Gary Welsh deliver a complete Future Shock. A chilling new tale also follows a young Judge named Sydney De'Ath. He's the troubled man destined to become the supernatural superfiend. Yes, the disturbed man who would go on to become the supernatural superfiend known only as Judge Death!
And what would Summer be without a few surprises? Ian Edginton and D'Israeli bring back the grotesque Stickleback. He has fiendish plans for London. But can he pull them off without exposing his startling secret identity?
Topping it all off is Liam Sharp's cover. It crackles with apocalyptic energy. Dredd, Death, and Stront are showcased in all their glory.
The 2000 AD Sci-Fi Special 2026 hits shelves on 22nd July. It's priced at £4.99 for 48 pages of incendiary action. Pick it up at newsagents and comic shops. US readers can grab it via Lunar Distribution. You can also pre-order now from the 2000 AD webshop.
