The countdown is over, the anticipation has built – and now the Dark Judges have been unleashed on Mega-City One!

And to celebrate, 2000 AD has announced an exclusive set of new T-shirts, each one sporting an image of one of the Dark Judges, which are ONLY available through the 2000 AD online shop.

Also, to ensure all Earthlets can enjoy the return of the terrible threesome from the dimension where all life is a crime, Prog 1781 is now available as a special one-off DAY-AND-DATE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD edition.

As part of the on-going Day of Chaos mega-epic, Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner has unleashed Judge Fear, Judge Fire, and Judge Mortis onto a Mega-City One already reeling from the Chaos Bug epidemic, mass civil revolt, and terrorist attacks. In a storyline described by SFX as “both gripping and very compelling. It’s like watching news of a real-life crisis unfolding on TV”, the multi-faceted plotline offers current, lapsed, and new readers a rollercoaster of thrills.

Warped parodies of the Judges of Mega-City One, the Dark Judges are undead superfiends from a dimension where all life has been declared a crime. Originally led by Judge Death, who has since been sucked into Purgatory by the souls of his victims, the Dark Judges were created by John Wagner and Brian Bolland.

The new T-shirts are now available, along with print and digital editions of Prog 178, from the 2000 AD shop
