2000AD Prog 895, published on 8th July, 1994, brings together a powerhouse lineup of thrilling stories and sharp satire, all wrapped in a striking Armoured Gideon cover illustration by Simon Jacob. A classic example of early 90s 2000AD storytelling, this issue combines hard-hitting sci-fi, horror, and fantasy in a tightly curated package.
Headlining the issue is Judge Dredd: Rad Blood, a two-part story written by Dan Abnett with classic art by Ron Smith and lettering by Tom Frame. This short arc delivers a sharp and effective mix of social commentary and dark humour, typical of Dredd’s 1990s run. It has since been collected in Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 21 by Rebellion.
The long-running adventure Armoured Gideon: The Collector continues here, written by John Tomlinson and illustrated by Simon Jacob with contributions by Mike White. Letters are handled by Annie Parkhouse and Peter Knight. This multiverse-spanning tale features cameos from classic 2000AD strips including Invasion, Shako, Angel, Harry Twenty, and many more, creating a nostalgic and energetic story arc for long-time readers.
Also in full swing is Mambo: The New Flesh, scripted and drawn by David Hine. This cyberpunk-inspired serial is both visually bold and politically charged, reflecting the darker tone of 2000AD during this era.
Fantasy fans are treated to more from Sláine: Queen of Witches, a mythic tale crafted by Pat Mills and rendered with lush, painterly art by Dermot Power. Lettering is by Steve Potter. This story blends ancient lore with raw warrior action and has been reprinted in Hamlyn: Sláine Warrior Beyond Time.
Rounding off the prog is Tharg’s Terror Tales: Milk & Honey, a self-contained horror story written by Mark Millar, with gritty art by Kevin Cullen and lettering by Annie Parkhouse. It offers a disturbing and thought-provoking slice of future shock horror in just six pages.
