BADGES OF HONOUR! DECLARE YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO THE GALAXY’S GREATEST COMIC WITH THIS SET OF 2000 AD BADGES — FREE FOR EVERY NEW SUBSCRIBER!* Tharg’s Mighty Organ has celebrated a momentous milestone as it breezed past its fortieth anniversary, but there’ll be no let-up in the Thrill-power as it enters the next stage of its life. To mark this historical moment, a set of four pin badges recreating the iconic logos that have graced 2000 AD’s covers over the last four decades has been produced. The badges won’t be available to buy from any shops, but if you take out either a new Annual or Two- Year physical subscription to both 2000 AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine, the set of four is yours for free!* Both current Annual and Two-Year combi subscribers will also automatically receive the pin-badge set. Monthly subscribers (and Annual subscribers to 2000 AD only or the Megazine only) are not eligible for the free pin-badge set but can purchase it from the subs-bots. Details will be made available online. In addition to subscribers receiving special incentives like this, it’s great value to subscribe to both titles. Although the cover prices for both 2000 AD and the Meg have risen, subs prices are currently frozen — for the bargain sum of £170 per year or just £15.50 per month**, you’ll get each new prog and Meg delivered direct to your door, up to four days before they hit the shelves.
