Surprise! After the sell-out success of last year, both The 2000 AD Annual and The Treasury of British Comics Annual will be returning at the end of 2025 to bring comics from across the eras directly to your home!

With over a hundred pages each, both annuals contain a hearty mix of all-new stories, features and hidden gems from the archives – making them the ultimate stocking Thriller. Each of these hardback editions are available in either a standard or webshop-edition, featuring some of the greatest artists in the industry today!

The 2000 AD Annual 2026 brings Thrill-Power home for Christmas with a standard-edition cover from superstar artist Ladronn (Final Incal) and a webshop-exclusive cover from 2000 AD legend Simon Bisley (Sláine)!

Inside, we’ve got all-new stories for you featuring Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper and Judge Anderson – from an all-star lineup of 2000 AD writers and artists including Rob Williams, Joe Currie, T.C. Eglington, Staz Johnson and more. We also have some surprises from the archives for you this year, readers – but we’ve been sworn to secrecy for now!

Tharg The Mighty blesses us once more with such nuclear-powered comics to keep your fires burning! Who needs a winter fuel allowance?

And this year The Treasury of British Comics Annual 2026returns with a fantastic range of stories from the archives, including comics originally published in Jag, Smash!, Wildcat, Wham!, Valiant, Misty and Whizzer & Chips, amongst others.
