Description
2000 AD Sci-Fi Special brings together classic British science-fiction comic strips in a single vintage magazine issue, headlined by a bold painted cover of Judge Dredd astride his Lawmaster bike, blaster drawn, cutting through a sprawling futuristic cityscape. Billed as “Summer Thrill-Power,” this newsstand special was priced at 60p in the UK, with additional cover pricing shown for Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia, placing it firmly within the international distribution run of the title.
The cover artwork carries an artist credit reading “Kennedy” in the lower corner, consistent with the strip-art style of the era. Interior promotion includes a film-related feature titled “The Right Stuff” with an accompanying photo strip, alongside a “Cinefax” cover line. The reverse page carries a full advertisement for Forbidden Planet, the London science-fiction and comic book shop, promoting Eagle Comics titles including Judge Dredd, Nemesis the Warlock, The Judge Child Quest, and Robo-Hunter, along with 2000 AD mail-order merchandise such as T-shirts and back issues.
The magazine shows typical wear for a vintage newsstand comic of its age: corner creasing and light rubbing along the cover edges, minor surface scuffing, and a strip of adhesive tape or a partial label visible near the lower portion of the front cover. The paper stock shows some toning consistent with age, and the spine shows handling wear from reading and storage.
