Explore the cutting edge of British comic storytelling with 2000AD Prog 1769, originally published on 8th February, 2012. This issue delivers a tightly woven set of narratives from some of the finest talents in the UK comic industry, blending dystopian action, satirical science fiction, and unflinching social commentary. A must-have for fans of bold, future-facing storytelling, it’s another gem in the legacy of 2000AD that continues to push the boundaries of the medium.
Leading the charge is Judge Dredd: Day of Chaos – Fallout, a crucial instalment in the Day of Chaos arc written by the incomparable John Wagner and brought to life with vivid intensity by artist Henry Flint. In this chapter, the cracks in Mega-City One’s defences are becoming impossible to ignore. The growing threat looms large as the plot tightens around the judicial elite. Wagner’s masterfully paced script and Flint’s gritty, dynamic panels combine to create an atmosphere of overwhelming tension and inevitability. This storyline is widely regarded as one of the most devastating and ambitious arcs in Judge Dredd's long history.
Next is Grey Area: One of Our Own by Dan Abnett and Karl Richardson, continuing the fresh, sharp sci-fi procedural set in the Exo Segregation Zone. This series explores xenopolitics and border control in a way that’s both speculative and recognisably grounded. With Abnett’s crisp dialogue and Richardson’s sleek, tech-heavy artwork, this strip offers smart, timely commentary wrapped in a polished futuristic package.
Indigo Prime: Anthropocalypse by John Smith and Lee Carter continues its deep dive into reality-shifting agents and metaphysical breakdowns. Packed with abstract concepts and layered references, this story isn’t afraid to challenge its readers. Carter’s art explodes with alien textures and impossible geometry, providing a visual treat that complements the complexity of Smith’s writing. This is Indigo Prime at its most experimental and engaging.
Also featured is Strontium Dog: The Life and Death of Johnny Alpha – Part 11, from the legendary creative team of John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. As the emotional and physical stakes rise, readers are treated to more of Ezquerra’s iconic style — rugged, expressive, and always charged with momentum. The story revisits themes of loyalty, loss, and justice, making it essential for long-time fans of the mutant bounty hunter.
Each of these stories represents the best of what 2000AD has to offer — intelligent narratives, unforgettable characters, and distinctive visual styles. This issue stands as a perfect example of the comic’s enduring appeal and its place at the forefront of British pop culture.
