About The Book

Following the acclaimed 40 Years of Scream!, the complete archival collection of the cult IPC title, this companion volume collects the specials spinning out of the main title – from its inception in the 1980s to the latest, oversized anniversary special – for the first time.

About The Authors

John Wagner has been scripting for 2000 AD for more years than he cares to remember. His creations include Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Ace Trucking, Al’s Baby, Button Man and Mean Machine. Outside of 2000 AD his credits include Star Wars, Lobo, The Punisher and the critically acclaimed A History of Violence.

With over 300 2000 AD stories to his name – not to mention over 250 Daily Star Judge Dredd strips – Alan Grant’s prolific creative record speaks for itself. Outside the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic, Grant is well-known to Batman fans following a lengthy run on various incarnations of the title. More recently he has adapted Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novels Kidnapped and Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Graphic Novel format with artist Cam Kennedy.

Barrie Tomlinson is a comics writer and former group editor at IPC Magazines, who has written strips including Death Wish & Turbo Jones for Wildcat. He was also involved with Roy of the Rovers, Teenage Mutants Hero Turtles and Scream!. Barrie wrote the Scorer football strip which appeared in the Daily Mirror, six days a week, for 22 years. He has written two books about his time in comics. Real Roy of the Rovers Stuff is about the work he did as Editor and Group Editor of Roy of the Rovers. Comic Book Hero is all about his work on other comics he edited.

About The Illustrators

Dave Gibbons is one of 2000 AD’s most popular artists, having co-created Harlem Heroes and Rogue Trooper. He has also pencilled A.B.C. Warriors, Dan Dare, Judge Dredd, Mega-City One, Ro-Busters, Tharg the Mighty, Tharg’s Future Shocks and Time Twisters, as well as having scripted several Rogue Trooper stories – making Gibbons one of the few 2000 AD creators to have served as writer, artist and letterer! Beyond 2000 AD, Gibbons is unquestionably best known for his work on the award-winning classic Watchmen (with Alan Moore), but he has also drawn Batman, Doctor Who, Give Me Liberty, Green Lantern, Superman, Star Wars and his graphic novel, The Originals.

Jesus Redondo worked on several strips for 2000 AD including Tharg’s Future Shocks, Nemesis the Warlock, M.A.C.H. 1 and Return to Armageddon. In the 1990’s he worked on Motormouth and Killpower for Marvel UK and Kitty Pryde for Marvel US.
