2000 AD is Britain’s longest-running and most celebrated sci-fi anthology comic, which has been at the cutting edge of contemporary pop culture since 1977. The 32-page, weekly Prog (the 2000 AD term for ‘issue’) is a multi-award-winning cocktail of explosive sci-fi and fantasy, infused with a mean streak of irony and wry black humor. Imaginative, hard-hitting stories and eye-popping art have made 2000 AD essential reading for its legion of fiercely loyal fans.

Acclaimed 2000 AD creators include John Wagner (writer - Judge Dredd, A History of Violence), Alan Moore (writer - Watchmen, V for Vendetta), Neil Gaiman (writer - Sandman, Good Omens), Dave Gibbons (artist - Watchmen, Rogue Trooper) and Brian Bolland (artist - Batman: The Killing Joke, Judge Dredd), amongst many others.

Over the years, 2000 AD has created hundreds of memorable characters and stories spanning a variety of genres, including future war (Rogue Trooper; The A.B.C. Warriors), action/adventure (Judge Dredd; Strontium Dog), fantasy (Sláine; Nemesis the Warlock), steampunk (Stickleback; Brass Sun), horror (Fiends of the Eastern Front; Absalom), and humour (DR & Quinch; Zombo). Some of these include:

Strontium Dog. Future mutant bounty hunter, Johnny Alpha. Late 22nd century. After the Atomic Wars of 2150, many survivors were warped by the Strontium 90 fallout. These ‘mutants’ became a vicitmised underclass, and the only job open to them was bounty hunting. One such Strontium Dog is Johnny Alpha whose mutant eyes allow him to see through solid objects and read brainwave patterns.

Nemesis the Warlock. Alien freedom fighter, defending the galaxy from the Termight empire. Termight - a world at the heart of a cruel galactic empire. Located deep in the bowels of the planet, its inhabitants live in fear of their leader - the diabolical tyrant, Tomas De Torquemada. Determined to rid the universe of all ‘deviant’ non-human life, the Grand Master and his army of Terminators are opposed by legendary alien freedom fighter, Nemesis the Warlock.

Sláine. Fantasy Celtic warrior. Celtic hero Sláine Mac Roth - exile, wanderer and later king - defends his people from the sea demons, at the behest of the Earth Goddess. A master of the ‘warp spasm’, Sláine can channel the mystical power of the Earth through his body to become a monstrous berserker!

Rogue Trooper. Future soldier, bio-engineered to operate in hostile environments. Nu-Earth, a planet ravaged by war, its atmosphere poisoned by chemical weapons. In this battlescarred landscape, the evil Nort army are battling the South army for control of a black hole next to the planet.

The legendary clone-soldier known as Rogue is hunting down the Traitor General responsible for massacring his kind, aided by the digitized souls of his dead friends, Gunnar, Helm and Bagman.

The A.B.C. Warriors. Seven military robots charged with increasing the peace on Mars. Mars, the far future. War droids created for a conflict that ended centuries ago, the A.B.C.
