THE CROSSOVER 50 YEARS IN THE MAKING! What if the old
Battle Action comic was merged with
2000 AD in the early '80s? That's the question posed by this all-new collection that reveals the answer is - action-packed thrills by the bucket-load. It takes old
Battle Action strips and reworks them as
2000 AD-appropriate adventures, while remaining true to their original concept and continuity.
This kick-ass crossover sees Judge Dredd feature in a brand-new reimagining of Action's most controversial strip -
Kids Rule O.K., and also includes
Darkie's Mob,
Death Game 2049 and
Major Eazy amongst others.
