Overview: Are comics just kids’ stuff, or are they a window onto our troubled times? In this book, John Newsinger examines 2000AD and the Judge Dredd strip and asks why it is that the most popular comic strip character in Britain is an authoritarian neo-fascist. He goes on to look at the writers 2000AD has nurtured: Alan Moore, Peter Milligan, Grant Morrision, Garth Ennis and others, their impact in America and comics like Hellblazer, Preacher and The Invisibles.
