As Rebellion continue to push handsome hardcover archival editions the latest upcoming collection will collect the work of Alan Moore.
Alan Moore is the legendary comics writer credited with transforming the medium and how it was seen through his seminal works such as V For Vendetta, From Hell and, of course, Watchmen. But, before any of that, some of his first published work came after he submitted a Future Shock pitch to 2000 AD – a short story with a twist on the last page.
After getting a story approved by 2000 AD‘s editor Tharg The Mighty, Moore didn’t look back, quickly establishing himself as an assured and engaged writer across a host of Future Shock stories for The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
Moore went from strength to strength at 2000 AD, contributing longer-form comics including D.R. & Quinch – who graduated from a Future Shock to their own continuing series – Skizz, and his three-story epic with Ian Gibson, The Ballad of Halo Jones. Moore‘s work brought heart and working-class soul to 2000 AD, creating memorable and anarchic characters who railed against the system – and sometimes succeeded.
Now, 2000 AD are proud to begin a collection of every Alan Moore story in the form of The Complete 2000 AD By Alan Moore. In volume one, readers will be able to enjoy his mastery of the short-form story as we collect together his Future Shocks and one-off stories into one complete volume. Whipsmart and funny, this first volume doubles as the perfect guide for how to write comics to a page limit – and it also includes the story “A Holiday In Hell” which has never been reprinted in English since its first publication in 1980!
Featuring over 250 pages of imaginative and mind-expanding stories and set for release in April 2026, The Complete 2000 AD By Alan Moore Volume 1 is available now for pre-order in either standard hardback or webshop-exclusive slipcase editions.
This first volume not only collects all of Moore‘s Future Shocks and Time Twister stories, but will also feature his short stories for legendary 2000 AD characters including The ABC Warriors, Ro-Busters and Rogue Trooper; a Tharg The Mighty one-off, and of course Ro-Jaws’ Robo Tales! And if you’re looking for the smartest comics in history, this volume features the full run of Abelard Snazz stories: the man with the multi-storey brain! It’s genius, master!
Moore‘s stories are complemented by the works of a string of legendary artists, including his first work with artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), alongside 2000 AD icons including Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Eric Bradbury (Rogue Trooper), Bryan Talbot (Grandville), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Brett Ewins (Bad Company) and more.
Collecting together all of the Moore‘s work at 2000 AD across several volumes, The Complete 2000 AD by Alan Moore Volume 1: Future Shocks is available for pre-order now from the 2000 AD webshop!
