• 2000AD Prog 892 - 17th June, 1994

2000AD Prog 892, dated 17th June 1994, offers a rich and varied line-up of stories showcasing the best of British comic book storytelling from that period. The striking cover art by David Hine features a compelling image from his series Mambo, perfectly reflecting the dark, dystopian themes within.

The main headline story is Judge Dredd: Conspiracy of Silence, a gripping four-part saga running from Progs 891 to 894. Scripted by the legendary John Wagner, illustrated by Mark Harrison, with fully painted colour work and lettering by Tom Frame, this story is a visual feast. It centres around a high-stakes conspiracy involving key characters such as Judge Castillo, Judge Hershey, and the robotic enforcer Mechanismo. The painted art adds a depth and realism that heightens the tension throughout the narrative. This arc has been reprinted in Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 21 as well as Judge Dredd Hamlyn Wilderlands.

Fans of shorter, punchy tales will appreciate the inclusion of Tharg's Future Shocks: Red Giant, a standalone story scripted by Peter Hogan, with artwork by Paul Johnson and lettering by Ellie De Ville. This single-episode feature delivers a classic twist-laden narrative, as is typical for Future Shocks, adding variety and a quick burst of suspense to the issue.

The ongoing saga of Armoured Gideon: The Collector continues, scripted by John Tomlinson. This ambitious crossover runs through Progs 889 to 899, with artwork primarily by Simon Jacob and selected episodes by Mike White, letters by Annie Parkhouse and Peter Knight. The story brings together numerous classic 2000AD characters, including Invasion, The Mind of Wolfie Smith, Angel, Shako, Ant Wars, and many others, creating a compelling meta-narrative that celebrates the wider universe of the publication.

Mambo: The New Flesh, written and drawn by David Hine, continues its eight-episode run from Progs 889 to 896. The series is notable for its dark cyberpunk atmosphere, exploring themes of dystopia, identity, and transformation through a haunting narrative style.

Also continuing is the richly painted fantasy saga Sláine: Queen of Witches, scripted by Pat Mills with artwork by Dermot Power and lettering by Steve Potter. This eight-part story, spanning Progs 889 to 896, delves into Celtic mythology, witchcraft, and epic battles. It has been reprinted in the Hamlyn: Sláine Warrior Beyond Time collection, reflecting its enduring popularity and importance in the 2000AD canon.
