Last year the long-running indie anthology Zarjaz, presenting stories based on the worlds of 2000 AD, returned with a Zarjaz Sci-Fi Special (reviewed here at Broken Frontier). The first issue of a new run of the comic is imminent and even more excitingly it features a cover and Strontium Dog art from Broken Frontier Six to Watch creator Alba Ceide. Full details and some preview pages in the press release below.
ZARJAZ VOL 3 PROG 1
Following the success of the ZARJAZ SCI-Fl SPECIAL 2024, the reading galaxy is now primed for the circuit-shattering wave of Thrill Power that is about to be unleashed with the release of ZARJAZ VOL 3 PROG 1. The 2000AD-themed independent comic relaunches fully in May and the first issue is available to order now. ZARJAZ VOL 3 PROG 1 will include 10 thrill-packed stories featuring a wealth of characters from the early years of Tharg’s mighty organ!

Published with the continued blessing of 2000AD’s owners Rebellion, ZARJAZ has been a mainstay of the UK independent comic scene for nearly 25 years. Several of its contributors have gone on to appear in the pages of 2000AD itself and who know which of the current crop of writers and artists might be following in their footsteps soon?
ZARJAZ VOL 3 PROG 1 will be the first in a 6-issue run of issues, set to be published at regular monthly intervals. Highlights include:
JUDGE DREDD: the 22nd century lawman takes a group of cadets into the Cursed Earth, but how many of them will return?
STRONTIUM DOG: can mutant revolutionary Johnny Alpha lead the fight against the oppressive regime when it’s headed by his own father?
LEGENDS OF ROGUE TROOPER: his adventures are legendary, but is the genetic infantryman himself merely a myth?
BILL SAVAGE: in 1980 Britain faces a new threat but will the teenage Bill be able to avert Armageddon itself?
M.A.C.H. 1: how does a former hero survive without his powers in a world he no longer understands?
Plus: Judge Anderson, Slaine, Torquemada, ABC Warriors, Harlem Heroes, Ace Trucking Co, Luke Kirby, The VCs and many more!
