2000 AD (comic)

2000 AD is a weekly British science fiction oriented comic.

Fanzines

2000AD has an extremely lively and thriving fanbase, which has produced a number of independent fanzines. In 1998 W.R. Logan, frustrated at the lack of activity from the comic's publishers both in promoting the title and also in making best use of new talents, decided to create an independent title using 2000AD copyrighted characters and situations. This was titled Class of '79, marking the coming of age of the generation that had bought 2000AD on its original release. The first couple of issues contained work from now-professional comics creators Rufus Dayglo, Henry Flint and PJ Holden. In 2001, Andrew Lewis created Zarjaz comic, a fanzine featuring characters mainly from the Judge Dredd universe. Another long-running fanzine, dedicated to the world of Johnny Alpha, is Dogbreath, run by the pseudonymous Dr Bob. In 2003, Arthur Wyatt created Futurequake, a fanzine devoted to the Future Shocks format. Although Class of '79 now appears to be on hiatus, all three of the other titles are in continuous publication.
