Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1933… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! In the first of three different concluding instalments this week, John Wagner’s latest Judge Dredd strip – ‘Breaking Bud’ – comes to an end.

Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1932
Oliver Davis reviews 2000AD Prog 1932… Borag Thungg, Earthlets! Oh dear. Just as things were looking up for Bud Biggard (albeit through very dubious means), the future catches up with him.

Comic Book Review – 2000AD Prog 1927
Oliver Davis ranks the Top 5 strips in 2000AD Prog 1927… 5.
