![]() ![]() These giveaways, which originally were devoted solely to 2000 AD related material but in recent years (following Rebellion's acquisition of the former IPC archive) have expanded to include material from various other former IPC titles, began in issue #275. In recent years, as an added incentive to the reader, reprint collections of material unlikely to sell well on its own have been given away free with the Megazine as "floppies", magazines slightly smaller than the Megazine itself (see Rebellion for list). In order to keep costs down, the Megazine at times also contains a fair amount of reprint material, both stories originally published in 2000 AD (such as Button Man) and strips originating in other titles, like Charley's War and Darkie's Mob (both originally from Battle Picture Weekly). ![]() Later issues have also included strips not directly connected to the Dredd universe, such as Al's Baby, Fiends of the Eastern Front, the creator-owned series Tank Girl and the Strontium Dog spin-off Young Middenface. There is also, of course, a strip about Dredd himself. Each issue contains a mixture of strips mostly based in Dredd's world, including Anderson, Psi-Division The Angel Gang Armitage The Dark Judges Devlin Waugh Harke & Burr Harmony Krieg Lenny Zero Shimura The Simping Detective Brit-Cit Brute Lawless and Tales from the Black Museum. Like 2000 AD, the Megazine is an anthology. The title is a play on words, combining 'magazine' with the name of Judge Dredd's home, Mega-City One. ![]() The Judge Dredd Megazine is a monthly companion title to 2000 AD, launched in 1990.
