Acclaimed as one of the best comics of 2020, the first collection of Dreadnoughts – Breaking Ground – is available now.
Written by Michael Carroll (Judges, Proteus Vex) with art by John Higgins (Before Watchmen, Batman: The Killing Joke) and colour by Sally Jane Hurst (Before Watchmen), the first collection of this new series is available now as a paperback or limited edition hardcover with brand new cover by Higgins, available exclusively from the 2000 AD webshop.
Dreadnoughts explores the origins of Judge Dredd’s dystopian police state and, in doing so, provides chilling insight into our own historical moment.
The year is 2035 and American society is crumbling. State brutality in response to public protests sparks even greater restrictions on what American citizens are free to do. The police force are being replaced by Judges, paramilitary cops who can dispense summary justice on the streets.
This is the horror story of a descent into fascism and the beginnings of the world of Judge Dredd.
