Judge Dredd Megazine #471 is AVAILABLE NOW!
Those of you born in the ’70s and raised in the ’80s are just the right age to appreciate the Scarred For Life books, which celebrate (and perhaps challenge) the weirdness of pop culture in those decades, from educational films to children’s television, from candy to urban legends.
A third volume has just been added to the first two self-published books, which examines life in the shadow of the bomb and, of course, includes a chapter on The Apocalypse Warwhich was originally published when fear of nuclear weapons was at its peak. In this issue, Scott Montgomery talks to the SFL authors about how influential 2000 AD was intended for an audience terrified by Threads and When the Wind Blows.
There are also conversations with artists Mark Farmer, Paul McCaffrey and Gemma Sheldrake, a look at the return of the 2000 AD fanzine Zaryazplus a whole series of stories end as Dredd, Harrower Squad, Dreadnoughts And Armitage all reach their final episodes. This means everything is ready for the crossover event next month Nordland Risingin which the Norts from the Rogue Trooper Universe wages war against the worlds of 2000 AD!
Judge Dredd Megazine #471 is now available in all good magazine and comic shops, as well as digitally in our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that when you buy a copy of Megazine Postage is free in the UK for the first month after publication!
