‘2000 AD’ will return to U.S. comic shops every week beginning in May

The long-running British anthology, home to Judge Dredd and a galaxy of original series, will be printed and distributed within the U.S. for the first time in its 49-year history.

Not only that, but to be given the opportunity to reimagine something from the golden era of Strontium Dog? Proper dream come true stuff.”
