Rebellion and 2000AD have announced a new book for September featuring the scripts of John Wagner and comment from him and artist Colin MacNeil on the creation and development of the landmark Judge Dredd story America. It promises to provide an insight into comic writing and the issues around politics in 1990 which influenced the strip. Read more here.

John of course went behind the scenes of creating Rok of the Reds for ComicScene Issue 1, which has been serialised in recent issues of the magazine. You can order the full graphic novel and pre order the sequel here.

1990 and every year from 1930 will also feature in our new Partwork ‘The History of Comics’ with features, articles and interviews from some great comic creators. Find out more and pledge at the kickstarter here.
