When You're Tired of Mega-City One, You're Tired Of Life...

Haynes Manual homage cover artwork on the special edition hardback of Helltrekkers

Acid rain that will strip skin from bone! Killer viruses that strike without warning! Marauding bands of mutants! Herds of hungry dinosaurs! Only the bold and the foolish hate Mega-City One enough to brave the hell of the Cursed Earth – but the Helltrekkers are willing to take the chance!

One of the first spin-off strip from the world of Judge Dredd, running from Prog 317 to 415 in the early years of 200AD, the classic story of The Helltrekkers was penned by Judge Dredd co-creator John Wagner and his writing partner Alan Grant, with art by José Ortiz (The Thirteenth Floor) and Horacio Lalia (Planet of the Damned).

This December, publishers Rebellion are reprinting the entire run of this legendary tale of heroic frontiersmen and women seeking to carve out a new life on the far side of the Cursed Earth, away from the confines of Mega-City One.

"The chances of reaching the new territories on the other side are slim – the hostile environment is full of danger, including acid rain downpours, killer viruses, mutants and hungry dinosaurs! To increase their chances of survival, Helltrekkers set off in large convoys … but sometimes fellow travellers can cause just as many problems as the threats from outside!"
