First published in 1977 at the height of the punk era, UK Sci-Fi comic 2000AD was violent, anti-authoritarian, darkly funny and distinctly British. With such iconic characters as Strontium Dog, Nemesis and Judge Dredd, it became the anarchic underdog that forever changed the face of the international comics industry.
Offering a comprehensive overview of the comic's history, Future Shock! takes a funny, moving and passionate look at the various highs and lows of how a band of talented eccentrics came together to create a visionary and extraordinary publication that still remains a game-changer more than 40 years later.
Featuring interviews with the likes of Pat Mills (ABC Warriors, Slaine), Dave Gibbons (Watchmen), Neil Gaiman (The Sandman), Karl Urban (Dredd) and Alex Garland (Ex Machina), Future Shock! is the definitive story of the most successful comic in the galaxy - now loaded with over six hours of previously unseen extras.

A must for any comic book fan, especially for fans of 2000AD or for any one looking to know more about the strip and it’s interesting history. I got totally sucked in. I can thoroughly recommend the arrow video blu ray with the extended interviews on it. 90mins more of Pat Mills, can only be a good thing! 👍
This is a great documentary, chronicling the often turbulent history of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. As someone who grew up reading hand-me-down back issues before collecting it myself, 2000AD has always been a part of my life, and, Pat Mills (the creator of 2000AD) in particular was hugely influential on me, giving me my anti-authoritarian leanings that I possess up to today. Speaking of Pat, he's absolute box office, and I could easily watch a video of just him. Bravo. I'd like more!
Very happy to get this, great price and quick delivery.
Great insight into the British comic scene.
