Catalogue note
Original UK first issue of Judge Dredd: The Megazine, October 1990, launched by Fleetway as a monthly sister title to 2000 AD. The issue combines a Glenn Fabry Judge Dredd cover with the opening chapters of several major serials, most notably John Wagner and Colin MacNeil's America, alongside Young Death, Chopper: Earth, Wind & Fire, Midnite's Children and Beyond Our Kenny. It is both the bibliographic starting point of a publication that remains active decades later and a concentrated snapshot of the creators and storytelling directions that expanded the Judge Dredd universe beyond 2000 AD at the start of the 1990s.
