Rebellion Releases - 30 September 2020

Misty & Scream returns with another 48-page anthology stuffed with scares to create a new generation from British horror fans!

Horror comics don't get enough attention (if you ask me) and the Misty & Scream! Special, which has become an annual tradition for Hallowe'en, includes fantastic new work from the likes of Maura McHugh, Olivia Hicks, Kristyna Baczynski, Mary Safro, and 2000 AD talent search winner Robin Henley.

The Prince of Darkness comes face to face with an old foe in 'The Dracula Files' from Cavan Scott and Vincenzo Riccardi; Black Beth's quest for vengeance continues thanks to the fevered minds of Alec Worley and DaNi; and Kek-W and Simon Coleby reveal the ghoulish World War I air ace, Black Max, attempting to cross back over into the world of the living!

Plus there's three frightfully fresh stories to shock your socks off - 'Thief of Senses' by Maura Mchugh and Robin Henley; 'Bumps in the Night' by Olivia Hicks and John Lucas, and 'The Aegis' by Kristyna Baczynski and Mary Safro!

So lock your doors and hide under the duvet as this is the spookiest read you've encounter this Hallowe'en!

America: Lost and Found – The Rediscovered Scripts by John Wagner & Colin MacNeil
Rebellion ISBN 978-1781-08894-4, 30 September 2020, 128pp, £19.99. Hardcover.

Long considered one of the most important stories in British comics history, the long-lost scripts behind the Judge Dredd story America are now to be revealed in a brand new book.
    America was a Judge Dredd story about freedom, terrorism, and armed struggle that has fresh and powerful resonance in today’s world – and America: Lost & Found – The Rediscovered Scripts takes you behind-the-scenes on John Wagner and Colin MacNeil’s groundbreaking story, which confirmed Judge Dredd‘s place as one of the most politically charged and nuanced series in comics.
    Rediscovered by chance three decades after publication, Wagner’s surviving scripts for America are now presented with in-depth commentary from the writer, followed by the story itself with MacNeil’s beautifully fully-painted art remastered and still delivering its emotional gut-punches after 30 years.
    With new introductions from John Wagner and Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys), this title will be available exclusively from the 2000 AD webshop at shop.2000AD.com
