The law has no place for vermin on Mega-City One’s streets… but when the Biker Mice’s otherworldly abilities draw the gaze of the inhuman entity called Judge Death, man and mouse alike will be caught in the crosshairs!

Announcing 2000 AD: A Visual History

Fifty years after it exploded onto shelves and revolutionized comics forever, the visual story of how 2000 AD has evolved is to be told in a special book.

2000 AD: A Visual History 1977-2027 will detail year-by-year the evolution of Britain’s biggest comics export, the legion of legendary stories it has published, and the people who made it into a world-changing cultural juggernaut!

This new oversized hardcover will include rare sketches, test pages, character designs, and art from artists including Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Simon Bisley (Lobo), Kevin O‘Neill (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen), Brian Bolland (Batman: The Killing Joke) and Judge Dredd co-creator Carlos Ezquerra.

Publishing as part of the celebrations marking 2000 AD’s 50th anniversary in early 2027, The 2000 AD Visual History will feature newly rescanned art from original artboards to showcase the bold iconic imagery that made the comic an institution, with behind-the-scenes sketches and character designs lifting the lid on how 2000 AD was made.

Debuting in 1977, the weekly 2000 AD immediately proved to be a bombshell of a comic, irrevocably changing the publishing landscape with its bold design, intense storytelling, and uncompromising attitude.

Corralling a roster of bold storytellers and dynamic artists, editor and writer Pat Mills, designers Kevin O’Neill and Jan Shepheard, art editor Doug Church, and numerous others created a comic that would come to dominate British comics and influence culture far beyond Britain’s shores. From subverting comics clichés to crafting dark, cynical and satirical stories, it became a byword for the future and ushered in an exciting new era of British pop culture.

The self-styled “Galaxy’s Greatest Comic” would become home to some of the most popular characters of the British comics scene – including Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Strontium Dog, Sláine, Nemesis the Warlock, and many, many more. It also debuted many of comics’ biggest talents, all of whom would go on to revolutionise the world of comics and inspire legions of fans around the globe.

Written by Scott Montgomery, author of The 2000 AD Encyclopedia, The 2000 AD Visual History details how the legendary comic and its famous characters have been brought to life, taking readers on a voyage through the history of the long-running British comic anthology. Presented in an oversized hardcover, an exclusive slipcase edition is also available only though the 2000 AD webshop, featuring new artwork by Pris Bampoh of 2000 AD’s venerable editor Tharg The Mighty, hard at work in his Nerve-Centre!

Konami and 2000 AD announce Silent Hill: Townfall – The Dock House

Konami Digital Entertainment has announced a collaboration with 2000 AD to create an original comic story inspired by the world of Silent Hill: Townfall. Silent Hill: Townfall – The Dock House is being written by lead writer and game director Jon McKellan and serves as an official narrative companion to the upcoming game. Acclaimed artist David Roach provides pencils for this eerie new story.

Part of the stacked lineup for 2000 AD’s milestone Prog 2500, available on 16th September in the UK and globally on the 30th September, the story will be available worldwide via Lunar Distribution in print, and digitally through the 2000 AD Webstore and App. Silent Hill: Townfall – The Dock House offers fans an additional perspective on the isolated island community of St. Amelia, expanding upon the haunting world and atmosphere of Silent Hill: Townfall while preserving the mysteries awaiting players in the game.

The story follows Douglas, a veteran harbour master who has spent decades maintaining St. Amelia’s dock house. Trapped in an endless routine surrounded by fog and isolation, Douglas discovers an impossible staircase descending beneath the harbour, forcing him to confront a terrifying reality hidden beneath the surface of the town.

Silent Hill: Townfall – The Dock House will be available as part of 2000 AD Prog 2500, the landmark issue, in all good newsagents and comic stores on September 16, 2026 in the UK, and September 30, 2026 in the USA. Fans can also read the issue digitally through the 2000 AD Webstore and App.
