2000AD Prog 1582, released on 16th April 2008, continues the pulse-pounding momentum of the galaxy’s greatest comic, delivering another expertly balanced mix of dystopian drama, sci-fi action, and bold political commentary. This prog keeps up the anthology’s high standard, making it a must-have for serious collectors and casual readers alike.

Taking the lead is another gripping instalment of Judge Dredd, who once again patrols the chaotic sprawl of Mega-City One with unwavering authority. The storytelling in this issue expertly captures the mood of a society teetering on the edge, with Dredd positioned squarely in the crosshairs of escalating unrest. Razor-sharp writing, dark humour, and social satire make this one of the issue’s standout stories.

Also featured are chapters from Savage and Strontium Dog, both of which continue their respective narratives with intensity and purpose. Savage remains a gritty, grounded tale of resistance and rebellion, portraying an occupied Britain in turmoil. Its emotional weight and moral ambiguity give it a deeply human edge. In contrast, Strontium Dog catapults us into the far reaches of space with Johnny Alpha, whose bounty hunting exploits are as perilous as they are thrilling. The character’s inner conflict adds dimension to a fast-paced, high-stakes plotline.

The visual storytelling throughout Prog 1582 is top-tier. The artists bring their A-game, with each strip showcasing a distinct yet cohesive look—from the towering dystopia of Mega-City One, to the crumbling resistance fronts in the UK, to hostile alien landscapes. The use of shadow, colour, and detail heightens both tension and immersion, making every page feel urgent and alive.

Collectors can expect their copy to arrive in pristine condition. Every issue is bagged and boarded using an acid-free bag and board, and posted with fast shipping and secure packaging, enclosed in a durable book wrap mailer to ensure its safety during transit.
