It was created by Pat Mills and John Wagner, with the goal of appealing to readers influenced by the science fiction films and popular culture of the time. The comic quickly established its identity with a futuristic setting, action-packed stories, dark humor, and social commentary. Judge Dredd, introduced in the second issue, became its flagship character and a cultural icon. Throughout its history, 2000 AD has been a launching pad for numerous renowned writers and artists, including Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, and Dave Gibbons. The series has survived various challenges and continues to thrive under Rebellion Developments, which acquired it in 2000. 2000 AD is known for its diverse range of characters and stories, offering a unique blend of science fiction and social critique. Its influence extends beyond British comics, with many alumni contributing to the American comic industry. Today, it remains a vital part of British popular culture.
