Black Shuck

A creature of the Modern Age born in the pages of 2000 AD in 2014, Black Shuck emerged from the minds of the legendary John Wagner and artist Boo Cook into one of British comics' most beloved anthologies. Running through 2014–2016, this Rebellion creation shares its ink with titans of the 2000 AD universe — Judge Dredd, Chief Judge Hershey, and the Roman warrior Aquila among them — serious company that speaks to the character's place in a rich, ambitious lineup. With 18 catalog appearances concentrated in a tight, purposeful run, Black Shuck is the kind of cult discovery that rewards the dedicated reader hunting through 2000 AD's endlessly inventive Modern Age output. If you love the edgy, imaginative storytelling that has made the Galaxy's Greatest Comic an institution, this one's worth tracking down.
