Judge Dredd Megazine

The Judge Dredd Megazine is a monthly companion title to 2000AD, launched in 1990. The title is a play on words, combining 'magazine' with the name of Judge Dredd's home, Mega City One. Like 2000AD, the Megazine is an antholgy, each issue containing a mixture of strips mostly based in Dredd's world, including The Simping Detective, Devlin Waugh, Anderson, Psi-Division, Armitage and of course Dredd himself, although later issues have also included strips not directly connected to the Dredd universe, such as Al's Baby, Fiends of the Eastern Front, the creator owned series Tank Girl and the Strontium Dog spin-off Young Middenface. In order to keep costs down, the Megazine, which has gone through several volume changes, also contains a fair amount of reprint material, both stories originally published in 2000AD (such as Button Man) and strips originating in other titles, like Charley's War and Darkie's Mob (both originally from Battle Picture Weekly). It has even included licensed reprints of American material including DC Comics' Sci-Fi comedy Bob the Galactic Bum and parts of the Vertigo Comics series Preacher, by Garth Ennis. There are also text features, mostly comics related but also including book and film reviews or pieces about Sci-Fi themed TV shows. The Megazine shares continuity with 2000AD (obviously) but actual crossovers in strips tend to be rare.
