Official Press Release
Fear. Fire. Mortis. The Dark Judges have returned to 2000
AD!
The countdown which has been running at
www.2000adonline.com came to an end earlier today and the site has closed,
replaced with a single image bearing the legend ‘THEY ARE HERE’.
Readers have been tantalised over the past month by a
series of teaser images published through Comic Book Resources (below),
which began as oblique symbols before slowly revealing the impending return of
the terrible threesome. They must now wait to see what will be unveiled...
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 reallife 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.
With a stunning cover by Henry Flint, this has been the
most keenly anticipated 2000 AD event in years.
Prog 1781 goes on sale on Wednesday, priced at £2.35 in
the UK.
