2000 AD Prog 1750 is a big jumping on point for potential 2000AD readers, on sale today (7th September)

Lowlife by Rob Williams and D'Israeli

The issue comes wrapped in a fab Greg Staples cover (above) and features a new Judge Dredd by John Wagner and Henry Flint (and with a shock ending for Dredd in Issue 1749, the issue is worth picking up just to find out what happens); Indigo Prime by John Smith and Edmund Bagwell; Lowlife by Rob Williams and D’Israeli - a new 12-part adventure - and Ampney Crucis by Ian Edginton and Simon Davies.

These are all new strips, all starting in one new issue. Give it a go!
