A titanic celebration of one of the most famous characters in comics history that will give fans the chance to share in their love of Judge Dredd, The Day of Dredd will be marked by creator signings at locations across the UK – Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool, London, Southampton, Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Norwich, Sheffield – as well as the first ever official 2000 AD signing in Prague, Czechia!
The line-up of guests creators includes: Andy Diggle, Anthony Williams, Barry Kitson, Ben Willsher, Boo Cook, Chris Weston, Colin MacNeil, D’Israeli, Dan Cornwell, Dave Kendall, Dylan Teague, Ian Edginton, INJ Culbard, Jake Lynch, Joe Currie, John Higgins, Laura Bailey, Lee Carter, Leigh Gallagher, Liam Sharp, Mick McMahon, Mike Perkins, Nick Percival, Patrick Goddard, Peter Doherty, PJ Holden, Pye Parr, Rob Williams, Robbie Morrison, Sally Jane Hurst, Silvia Califano, Simon Davis, Staz Johnson, Steven Austin, Stewart K Moore, and Tom Foster.
The Day of Dredd is the perfect day for readers new and old to discover 2000 AD’s biggest character and Britain’s greatest comics export — a hardline future cop created by John Wagner (A History of Violence) and Carlos Ezquerra (Preacher), who has been bringing justice to the mean streets of the vast Mega-City One for almost half a century, both thrilling readers and satirising everything from Margaret Thatcher to Donald Trump, from fad fashions to freedom fighters. As well as helping launch the careers of some of comics’ biggest names, Dredd has become one of the most iconic characters in British comics and even part of the English language!
With the 50th anniversary of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd fast approaching in February 2027, with special plans to celebrate the occasion to be announced in the coming months, The Day of Dredd is a chance for fans to pass on their passion for The Law as well as for new readers looking for a way into one of the most important characters in comics. In addition to the long-running and best-selling
Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files series, the Essential Judge Dredd line of graphic novel collections gives readers the opportunity to encounter the big epic storylines that have influenced not just comics over the last fifty years but global culture!
Day of Dredd signings will be taking place at selected Forbidden Planet and Forbidden Planet International stores, as well as — thanks to the help of the Czech publisher of Judge Dredd, CREW — the Krakatit bookstore in Prague.
Don’t miss the chance to dive into some Dredd on October 3 — obey the Day of Dredd!
The full line-up of Day of Dredd signings:
Twenty-three-year-old Darren Burroughs out of Audubon, PA, is a “gifted” rookie sent under the guise of a diplomatic aide to train with Division Nine—an obscure, outdated, and easily dismissed arm of British intelligence that specializes in dealing with paranormal incidents. In the right sort of spy circles, they’re known by a different, more feared name…“Black Tower.” It’s 2026, and in the age of cyber warfare and drone strikes, someone is plotting to steal the head of a giant-king to break a centuries-old ward that has kept invading forces out of Britain. Magic and espionage collide as the Black Tower’s band of misfits, led by the enigmatic Alistair Romeo, delves into a maelstrom of spells and silencers, working against time and in the shadows to fight the esoteric battles bubbling under the surface of our visible wars.

Eisner Award winner Ram V (Detective Comics, The Swamp Thing) and acclaimed artist Mike Perkins (The Swamp Thing, The Bat-Man: First Knight) team up once again to bring you a contemporary spy thriller with the distinct flavor of Vertigo magic… from His Majesty with love.
One by one, the realities of the Multiverse have collided and been destroyed, leaving the Marvel Universe as one of the last standing. Now the final Incursion is drawing near — and in the wake of the desperate, world-shattering actions taken by the shadowy group of heroes known as the Illuminati, the Avengers are fragmented. While one group seeks to confront their former Illuminati allies, another takes the fight to a dark new threat! But what has become of Tony Stark and Doctor Strange? Will all the battles they’ve endured — and the sacrifices they’ve made — prepare the Avengers for the inevitable? Time runs out as the stage is set for SECRET WARS!
