2000 AD Annual 2026

I am old enough to remember the delight of receiving an annual every Christmas – eventually I was tasked with this job by my mother as she had enough to do during the very busy festive season without figuring out what comics the kids wanted.

I always bought a 2000 AD Annual, ostensibly for my brothers, but also for myself.

So what a treat to write a Judge Anderson story, titled ‘Parade of Death’, for the 2026 version of the 2000 AD Annual! Better still, it features the entire Dark Judges tomb team  pitted against a crew of Psi-Judges, and the action is drawn by the magnificent Joe Currie. Cheers to my editor Oliver Pickles for his oversight.

It will be released on Wednesday, the 12th of November 2025, and comes in two hardcover editions. As they say on the 2000 AD web site:

The 2000 AD Annual 2026 brings Thrill-Power home for Christmas with a standard-edition cover from superstar artist Ladronn (Final Incal) and webshop-exclusive cover from 2000 AD legend Simon Bisley (Sláine)!

This celebratory Annual contains several all-new stories, featuring Judge DreddRogue Trooper, and Judge Anderson. The book also contains a few 2000 AD classics from the thrill-archive which have never been reprinted before.

You can pre-order it online now!
