2000AD are having a national signing event:
It’s been the cutting edge powerhouse of British comics since 1977 – and now 2000 AD is celebrating 35 years of Thrill-power with its first ever National Signing Event!
Just days before DREDD 3D hits movie screens, on Saturday 1st September six comic book stores in six cities from north to south will play host to a band, nay, a legion of top British comic book talent from the past three and a half decades. From old hands such as Dave Gibbons Simon Bisley to the newest finds such as Al Ewing and Alec Worley, we’ll be celebrating Britain’s greatest export across the nation!
Forbidden Planet stores in London, Bristol, and Birmingham, along with Travelling Man stores in Leeds and Manchester, and the Forbidden Planet store in Edinburgh will be stuffed with artists and writers who have made 2000 AD what it is today.
Legendary writer, and Dredd and Strontium Dog co-creator, John Wagner will be headlining the day with a visit to Manchester and other big names now confirmed include Dave Gibbons (Rogue Trooper, Watchmen), Simon Bisley (Sláine: The Horned God, Lobo), Steve Yeowell (Zenith), Clint Langley (Sláine, ABC Warriors) Dan Abnett (Sinister Dexter, Kingdom), John Higgins (Judge Dredd), D’Israeli (Leviathan), Ian Edginton (Leviathan, Red Seas), and Mark Buckingham (Fables).
More big British names will be announced in the coming weeks – keep an eye on 2000adonline.com for all the latest updates!
OMG! What an absolute nightmare!Something that was supposed to be a quick post has now turned into a week-long mind-drokk! Oh well,t’Internet is finally back on and we’re able to get some work done-no thanks to Sky,arrogant jerks that they are! Rant over,whilst looking through back Progs I realised that although most 2000AD readers are familiar with Clint Langley’s Sláine and A.B.C Warriors,he’s also captured some other 2000AD popular series in his own distinctive style:from top;everybody’s favourite Texas-City outlaw family,the Angel Gang;cover to Prog1400(24Jul’04)featuring A.B.C Warriors,Strontium Dog,Judge Dredd,Caballistics,Inc and of course Tharg;glorious Psi-Judge Anderson from classic thrill,“The Possessed”(Progs468-78,3May-12Jul’86);demonic shenanigans in Caballistics,Inc(Prog1339,7May’03)and finally,those loveable hitmen Sinister/Dexter(Prog1398,14Jul’04)

Judge Dredd 2000 AD #1410
A fine painted cover by Clint Langley which could easily adorn the current progs as Mega-City One circles the drain.
The original art for one of Clint Langley’s fine wraparound covers, this time featuring the Volkhan and his team of Volgan rotters the Mechanoids, from ABC Warriors.
Clint Langley, American Reaper
This book floors me. It’s like the craziest evolution of the crazy face style Langley was doing in his other books.
