UPDATED: To help pass the time in the iso-cubes

I've looked at Comics calendars before (see here and here) but didn't realise there had ever been any Judge Dredd calendars before until a conversation about it popped up on the '2000AD & Judge Dredd tat and chat' facebook group.

UPDATE (8th November 2026) - now with the 2027 wall calendar added to this listing...





I started looking for traditional 'wall' calendars for this post but I've decided to expand it to look at all types of calendars. All new material is in red.

So with thanks to Ian Anorak Hollingsworth (and ebay!) here we go...

The 1989 calendar - presumably published by Titan as the images look like the covers from their reprint volumes

Glasgow Comic Art Convention - 1991

I've looked before (here) at the 1990s incarnation of the Glasgow Comic Art Convention (GCAC) that ran from 1990-5. I've been collecting the convention programmes for a long time and this was the final one I needed! I was very pleased to pick this up recently and I'm highlighting just some of the interior art. Good luck tracking down your own copy

Violent! #1

Thanks to friend of the blog Matthew Bunce I've recently acquired issues 1-6 of Violent! a small press comic from, erm, I'm not precisely sure when as I've not come across any dates on 'em yet. The best I've got is that the Aggro strip has a (c) 1999 on it. So that's the earliest this could date from.
Anyhoo, they were sent to me as they contained some interesting example of artwork by some folks who are now well-known artists.

The total list of credits is as follows...
Cover by Colin MacNeil
The Tallyman - story by H Janus, art by PJ Holden
Rabid - story & art by H Janus, letters by Jim Campbell
Mitch Molotov, campus cop - story & art by Phil Nixon, letters by Jim Campbell
Lowlife - uncredited
Aggro - Simon Fraser 

Anyway, let's have a look at the best of the art...
