News / New Thrills for Prog 1577!
26 February, 2008, 10:01:56 PM
Prog 1577 sees the start of two new Thrills.

Savage: The Guv'nor by Pat Mills and Patrick Goddard is the fourth book in the acclaimed near-future series. With an uneasy truce holding between the British people and the occupying Volgan forces, Reconciliation Month is a time for building bridges - but for Bill Savage, now running a pub in King's Cross with his sister under new guises, there will be no peace until the UK is free of the Volgans!

Dead Eyes by John Smith and Lee Carter is a brand-new story, a contemporary thriller with undercurrents of serious weirdness. Lance Corporal Danny Redman is completing his tour of duty in Basra, looking forward to returning home to his wife and young daughter. But events will plunge him into a maelstrom of horror and mystery!

Prog 1577 is on sale 12 March 2008, still only £1.90.

News / CLICKWHEEL BUILDS ON ITS 2000 AD BACKLIST
13 February, 2008, 02:40:17 PM
www.clickwheel.net, the distributor of online comic books for Apple iPhone and iPod and the exclusive distributor for the sci-fi comic 2000 AD, has announced it will be expanding its backlist in the lead-up to the main 2000 AD digital download service launch later this year.

Clickwheel and 2000 AD publishers Rebellion have agreed to include archive material from 2007 in addition to the weekly 2000 AD comic downloads, which began in December 2007.

Will Simons, Creative Director of Clickwheel said: â??The plans Clickwheel and Rebellion have for the 2000 AD download service are wide-ranging and incredibly exciting. They began with the 2000 AD Christmas special in December and weâ??re now implementing the first in a series of archive content.â??

Jason Kingsley, CEO and Creative Director of Rebellion added: â??As the download service was designed for existing overseas 2000 AD readers and latent fans, the first archive will feature every issue from 2007 to give fans access not just to copies they havenâ??t read but also overall storylines over a number of issues.â??

Will concludes: â??2008 promises to be an exciting year for Clickwheel and 2000 AD. We have offered the latest copies of 2000 AD since December and with the 2007 archive in place, characters and storylines within the comic can be fully explored and enjoyed.â??

The archive goes live Friday 15th February 2008. Visit www.clickwheel.net for more details.

News / Dredd vs Aliens statue
12 February, 2008, 11:15:34 AM
In a battle that threatened to bring Mega-City One to its knees, future lawman Judge Dredd faced off against Fox Film's Alien in 2003's stunning comic-book crossover Incubus, written by John Wagner and Andy Diggle and illustrated by Henry Flint.

First4Figures and Rebellion are proud to present a truly unique sculptural treatment inspired by the story. An interpretation of Flint's opening illustration, this limited-edition collectible is rife with special features - the otherworldly skull of the alien is visible through a blackened translucent surface, creating an eerily striking effect; a hidden lighting element in the base creates an otherworldly glow; and the alien eggs surrounding the base have been treated with unusual resins to create a viscous pool as face-huggers slowly emerge.

The fully hand-painted statue is minutely detailed, stands 11.5" tall and comes securely packaged in deluxe full-colour packaging. Includes Certificate of Authenticity. Strictly limited to 1,000 numbered statues for worldwide distribution.

The Dredd/Aliens statue will available to buy from the 2000ADonline shop (Tharg's Newsround
