2000AD Prog 898 - 29th July, 1994 delivers an electrifying lineup of stories that continue to define the unmistakable style and tone of Britain’s most iconic weekly comic anthology. This issue showcases a strong mix of long-running favourites and gripping serial chapters, all encased in a striking photo-style cover featuring Judge Dredd, reflecting the experimental design choices of mid-90s 2000AD.

Among the standout features in this prog is Judge Dredd: TV Babies, a compact six-page episode penned by Chris Standley and illustrated by Peter Doherty, with lettering by the ever-reliable Tom Frame. It combines social satire with futuristic law enforcement, a hallmark of the Dredd universe. This short but punchy story satirises media and consumerism, wrapped in gritty visual storytelling that’s both provocative and quintessentially Dredd. This particular strip was later reprinted in Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 21, highlighting its lasting appeal.

Elsewhere in the issue, readers are treated to Brigand Doom: House of Games, an 18-page storyline spread across Progs 897 to 899. With a script from Alan McKenzie, artwork by Dave D'Antiquis, and lettering by Annie Parkhouse, the story’s haunting tone and moody visuals bring a noir-inflected flavour to this cyberpunk vigilante saga.

One of the major serials continuing through this issue is Rogue Trooper (Friday): Mercenary Attitudes, with Steve White on writing duties and stunning visuals from Henry Flint. This arc brings depth to the war-ravaged world of Nu-Earth, layered with tactical intrigue and moral ambiguity. Its detailed artwork and hard-hitting storytelling make it a must-have for fans of military science fiction. This four-part run spans Progs 896 to 899.

Also reaching a climactic point is Armoured Gideon: The Collector, a substantial storyline running across 11 episodes (Progs 889 to 899), with this prog marking one of its final chapters. Scripted by John Tomlinson and primarily illustrated by Simon Jacob, with additional work by Mike White, this arc delves deep into a twisted realm of supernatural artefacts and extradimensional threats. Notably, this storyline features a nostalgic medley of classic characters such as Invasion, Shako, Ace Trucking, and M.A.C.H.0, making it a treat for long-time readers of the comic’s back-catalogue history.

Rounding off the issue is Strontium Dogs: Crossroads, part of a three-episode arc written by Peter Hogan, drawn by Nigel Dobbyn, and lettered by Annie Parkhouse. Set in a post-apocalyptic world of mutant bounty hunters, this chapter builds tension through shifting alliances and high-stakes decisions. It was later reprinted in Judge Dredd Megazine 320, affirming its lasting popularity.
