2000 AD Prog 1442 – 8th June 2005 delivers another high-impact instalment from the UK’s most iconic weekly science fiction comic. Known for its daring storytelling and striking visual style, 2000 AD continues to push boundaries with a line-up that spans dystopian action, supernatural intrigue, and mythological epic.

At the forefront is the relentless Judge Dredd, who once again finds himself enforcing order in the volatile expanse of Mega-City One. As always, Dredd’s latest assignment offers sharp commentary on authoritarianism and urban decay, supported by gritty, atmospheric artwork that captures the oppressive weight of a society on the edge. This is classic Dredd—visceral, thought-provoking, and executed with precision.

Complementing the main feature is the continuation of Slaine, the long-running saga of the Celtic warrior-king. This chapter delivers raw, primal action wrapped in themes of honour, myth, and ancient power. The artwork is deeply textured and expressive, painting a vivid world of folklore and fury. Elsewhere in the prog, additional strips delve into sinister secrets, post-human futures, and the uncanny—highlighting the anthology’s unmatched range in genre and tone.

The visual identity of Prog 1442 is particularly strong, with each story rendered in a unique style that enhances the narrative voice. From hyper-detailed dystopian vistas to surreal fantasy panels, this issue showcases the creativity of its artist and writer teams in full.

A must-have for collectors of the early 2000s era of 2000 AD, this issue blends the familiar weight of legacy characters with the fresh ideas that have kept the title essential for decades.
