2000 AD Prog 1444 – 22nd June 2005 brings another thrilling edition of the UK’s long-running weekly anthology, packed with dystopian law enforcement, ancient mysticism, and future-shaping drama. Known for its sharp social commentary, striking visuals, and bold storytelling, 2000 AD continues to set the benchmark for British science fiction comics with every issue.

At the heart of this prog is the relentless Judge Dredd, back with a gripping new chapter set in the sprawling urban sprawl of Mega-City One. The story tackles corruption, control, and consequence with the intensity readers have come to expect from Dredd’s world. The artwork is detailed and atmospheric, conveying both the overwhelming scale of the city and the tension that constantly simmers beneath its surface.

Also featured is Slaine, the Celtic warrior whose brutal path through myth and legend is once again rendered in dramatic, painterly detail. This instalment continues his journey through ancient lands, full of supernatural menace and warrior honour. With poetic narration and expressive illustrations, the tale is steeped in mood and mysticism. The prog is rounded out by a mix of genre-spanning tales—sci-fi, fantasy, horror—all with that signature 2000 AD flair.

The diverse artistic styles across the stories ensure a visually varied reading experience, from gritty realism to stylised fantasy. This balance of top-tier writing and unique artwork makes Prog 1444 a fine example of the innovation and risk-taking that has kept 2000 AD essential reading for generations.

Ideal for fans and collectors of British comics, this issue represents a key entry in the 2005 publication run and serves as a perfect example of what makes 2000 AD a cornerstone of UK comic culture.
