Comics, graphic novels and the people who create them will be celebrated at the 2013 Edinburgh International Book Festival. Richard Lea visits the offices of science fiction comic 2000 AD - which sold 100,000 copies per issue in its 80s peak compared to 15,000 now - and asks writers Neil Gaiman, Dan Abnett and artist Warren Pleece about its enduring appeal

kind of ironic that a comic book line based on anti authority has a authority figure as their most popular character. Not that i am complaining. Judge Dredd is awesome !!

I know this comment is 2 years old but I’m surprised nobody replied. That’s the point. It’s satire.

Greatest comic the Galaxy has ever known... thanks for all those wonderful pre CGI years Tharg! Splundig Vur Thrig

[@jebadiahjackson]

Need some more strips in the Dreddverse already, Dredd's timeline and Strontium Dog's are getting closer and close. How long until he dies or gets sucked into a black hole already?
