Realm of the Damned Kicks Off in Judge Dredd Megazine This Month

The Megazine Strikes The Right Chord

♦From this month’s Judge Dredd Megazine, #369, out at all good comic shops and newsagents from 17th February in the UK, as well as digitally from 2000 AD’s webshop and apps, Werewolf Press’s Realm of The Damned: Tenebris Deos, written by Alec Worley and drawn by Pye Parr, will be appearing in Rebellion’s popular monthly magazine.

The new Black Metal-infused gothic horror series, written by Alec Worley and drawn by Simon “Pye” Parr, will begin in the slot of the monthly anthology magazine in February.

The Megazine has established an impressive reputation for premiering stunning new series set outside of the world of 2000 AD and Judge Dredd, including Andy Diggle and Jock’s SNAPSHOT, Paul Grist’s DEMON NIC, Rob Williams and D’Israeli on ORDINARY, and Alan Martin and Rufus Dayglo on TANK GIRL. Realm of The Damned continues this tradition.

This new series blends music and madness into a world where the forces of darkness that once stalked the fringes of reality have finally taken over the world.

The supernatural defence agency known as ‘The Congregation’, a covert wing of the Catholic Church, has been destroyed and its sole surviving operative, legendary monster-hunter Alberic Van Helsing, is now a fugitive and addict. Now he’s been recruited by the so-called Vampire Elite to help them destroy an ancient evil that threatens them all.

The eight-part series will be a hit with all fans of the horror genre as well as legions of heavy metal fans, and is another strong new series for the Megazine. With Parr’s gruesome and gory visuals and Worley’s in-your-face script, Realm of the Damned is definitely the comic that your mother warned you about!

“Pye’s artwork is phenomenal,” said writer Alec Worley. “Every spread I’m seeing is more amazingly demented than the last. This is going to be one hell of a debut graphic novel. Readers of the Prog and Meg have only had a taste of what this droid can do. Now they’re in for a feast!”

To whet people’s appetites, here are a couple of dynamic spreads taken from the first episode by former 2000AD art droid Pye Parr.
