The next Regened All-Ages Prog is here, full of scrotnig stories for your young Squaxx!

BORAG THUNGG, EARTHLETS – Prog 2196 is OUT NOW!

Welcome, Thrill-seekers, to the third Regened takeover issue of 2020, whereby Tharg passes his nephew Joko-Jargo the reins of his pulse-pounding SF anthology for a bumper one-off prog.

As ever, we’ve got a scrotnig selection of stories to energise the circuits of humanoids young and old — we kick off with another Cadet Dredd tale, this time from Mike Carroll and Luke Horsman, as Joe and his clone-brother Rico take on a direct-action protest group of juves that are holding hostages. Ghost-hunters Eliot and Meera are back in Finder & Keeper: The Curse of Kreepindeth by John Reppion and David Tinto, as their school trip to the local natural history museum takes a decidedly supernatural turn!

We also have a complete Future Shock in the shape of Boss Level by Karl Stock and Tom Newell, with an old videogame called Free the Monkey! going viral in a most unexpected way; and we debut two new strips, Roger Langridge and Brett Parson’s Pandora Perfect, and Rory McConville and PJ Holden’s Department K, for your delight and delectation.

Let us know what you think of them! Enjoy, Terrans — we’ll be back in three months for the fourth and final Regened special of 2020!

2000 AD Prog 2196 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that if you buy an issue of 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!

FINDER & KEEPER // The Curse of Kreepindeth

Somewhere in the UK, 2020. Meera Hundal and Eliot Hunter are a pair of friends at the local Stonecroft school. Although essentially good kids, they find themselves in trouble more often than they’d like thanks to their inability to walk away from a fight. Strongwilled
and not afraid to speak their minds, their latest punishment was to help with community clean-up chores — and when they were clearing the house of Victorian ghost-hunter Professor A.J. Mortimer, they came upon the special devices that he used to trap spooks. Now in the possession of spectral vision goggles and a spirit-trap, they’re seeing if they can put them to good use…
