An early and never-reprinted-before short story by the award-winning author of the Sandman series, Neil Gaiman, is among a brand new ebook collection of prose stories taken from the 2000 AD and Judge Dredd annuals and specials.
Featuring stories by New York Times best-sellers Gaiman and Dan Abnett, along with hit comics authors Mark Millar, Peter Milligan, Alan Grant and more, this amazing collection brings together nine thrilling short prose stories based in the world of Judge Dredd.
Following on from the launch of its collected ebook editions of creator interviews, 2000 AD is continuing its commitment to bringing more of 35 years of Thrill-power from its archives.
Never seen outside of those pages until now, this ebook presents these hard-to-find stories in one collection for the very first time.
The ‘annual’ is a British tradition – appearing in book shops and newsagents in the run-up to Christmas, every comic title had its own hard-backed book. Although 2000 AD is better known for its comic strips, text stories were a staple of these annuals until the mid-1990s.
The titular story, Sweet Justice, is one of Gaiman’s earliest published and least known short stories, featured in the 1988 Judge Dredd Annual – which went on sale just a year after his first comics work, a 2000 AD Future Shock strip, and the year before The Sandman would be published for the first time.
Now available on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
Price: £2.88/$4.54
