Announcing The Complete 2000 AD by Alan Moore
A special collection from the pages of 2000 AD by Rebllion is coming soon, featuring the works of the legend that is Alan Moore.
Alan Moore is the legendary comics writer credited with transforming the medium and how it was seen through his seminal works such as V For Vendetta, From Hell and, of course, Watchmen. But, before any of that, some of his first published work came after he submitted a Future Shock pitch to 2000 AD - a short story with a twist on the last page.
After getting a story approved by 2000 AD’s editor Tharg The Mighty, Moore didn’t look back, quickly establishing himself as an assured and engaged writer across a host of Future Shock stories for The Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
Moore went from strength to strength at 2000 AD, contributing longer-form comics including D.R. & Quinch - who graduated from a Future Shock to their own continuing series - Skizz, and his three-story epic with Ian Gibson, The Ballad of Halo Jones. Moore’s work brought heart and working-class soul to 2000 AD, creating memorable and anarchic characters who railed against the system - and sometimes succeeded.
Now, 2000 AD are proud to begin a collection of every Alan Moore story in the form of The Complete 2000 AD By Alan Moore. In volume one, readers will be able to enjoy his mastery of the short-form story as we collect together his Future Shocks and one-off stories into one complete volume. Whipsmart and funny, this first volume doubles as the perfect guide for how to write comics to a page limit - and it also includes the story “A Holiday In Hell“ which has never been reprinted in English since its first publication in 1980!
Featuring over 250 pages of imaginative and mind-expanding stories and set for release in April 2026, The Complete 2000 AD By Alan Moore Volume 1 is available now for pre-order in either standard hardback or webshop-exclusive slipcase editions.
This first volume not only collects all of Moore’s Future Shocks and Time Twister stories, but will also feature his short stories for legendary 2000 AD characters including The ABC Warriors, Ro-Busters and Rogue Trooper; a Tharg The Mighty one-off, and of course Ro-Jaws’ Robo Tales! And if you’re looking for the smartest comics in history, this volume features the full run of Abelard Snazz stories: the man with the multi-storey brain! It’s genius, master!
Moore’s stories are complemented by the works of a string of legendary artists, including his first work with artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), alongside 2000 AD icons including Ian Gibson (The Ballad of Halo Jones), Eric Bradbury (Rogue Trooper), Bryan Talbot (Grandville), Steve Dillon (Preacher), Brett Ewins (Bad Company) and more.
Collecting together all of the Moore’s work at 2000 AD across several volumes, The Complete 2000 AD by Alan Moore Volume 1: Future Shocks is available for pre-order now from the 2000 AD webshop!
The Holidays Are Haunting, and Terror Waits Beneath the Tinsel…
Holiday horror coming soon from Image Comics with Dread The Halls 2025.
Image Comics and Syzygy Publishing return with DREAD THE HALLS 2025, the third chapter in their fan-favorite holiday horror series! Following last winter’s breakout debut and this summer’s Dread the Hall H sell-out at San Diego Comic-Con, the team is back with a super-sized 72-page stocking stuffer of pure terror.
Co-created and written by Jordan Hart (Ripple Effects, The Cabinet) and Chris Ryall (Zombies vs. Robots, Megalopolis), Dread the Halls 2025 unwraps five wildly different tales that run the spectrum from suspense to splatter. Art drops by Luana Vecchio (Lovesick, Bolero), illustrating her first holiday tale—a 12-page yuletide riff that begins like a Hallmark Christmas movie and ends as a razor-sharp revenge story. Fábio Veras (DC’s Two-Face, Batman: Urban Legends) returns to render a chilling haunted-Advent-calendar yarn, while Lee Ferguson (Predator vs. Black Panther) brings a pitch-black carol to life. Rounding out the lineup, Keithan Jones—co-founder of Black Comix Day—makes his Image Comics debut with visuals for a Mars-red holiday frightmare.
The giftwrap is just as sharp: five festive covers, including two by Maria Wolf (Crypt of Shadows, Harley Quinn), plus a new Luana Vecchio (Lovesick, Bolero) variant, a Toby Willsmer (Vampirella, Red Sonja) piece, and a wrap-around “gift-tag” variant by Hart and Ryall. built to tuck perfectly into the “horrorday” stockings.
Dread the Halls returns to haunt another Christmas season with a 72-page gift of all-new tales of holiday horrors for only $6.99! This time out, Jordan Hart and Luana Vecchio deliver a seasonal blend of Hallmark movie and brutal revenge flick; Chris Ryall and Keithan Jones turn Mars red when “The Martians Conquer Santa Claus!”; Walter Pax and Fábio Veras return to the series rendering festive terror; and Ryall and Lee Ferguson present a pitch-black Christmas carol in “Chains Forged From Life.”
“This year’s Dread the Halls unites some of the top artists in the industry, giving all five stories their own distinct style and tone,” said series co-creator, writer, and designer Jordan Hart. “Even though the ideas and executions vary, they all weave together to deliver a supersized issue that’s just plain fun from start to finish.”
“In the same way that people all over the world look forward to various year-end holidays,” said co-creator and writer Chris Ryall, “I have that same level of excitement for our now-annual Dread dive into the darker corner of the season. And this year, we’ve expanded the page count from 48 to 72 in an effort to give readers even more of a gift than we did last year.”
For fans of Silent Night, Deadly Night, Black Christmas, and many other acclaimed cold-blooded holiday slashers, this anthology delivers the ultimate holiday fright!
Retailers can “re-spread the dread” with Dread the Halls (2024) and Dread the Hall H (2025) re-offered alongside the new issue, giving shops the full trilogy for the holidays. Dread the Halls 2025 hits shelves December 3, 2025—available to preorder now with Lunar code 1025IM0283.
