Welcome, Terrans, to a very special prog, stuffed to the gills with six scrotnig stories. Yes, you heard that right - this issue is veritably bursting to the seams with ghafflebette goodness! Alongside the high-octane action of Judge Dredd, the political skulduggery of Rogue Trooper, the bullet-dodging blastfest that is Sinister Dexter, the galaxy-destroying carnage of Durnham Red and the faerie-battling tomfoolery of Bec & Kawl, I am proud to announce an additional Thrill to this week's circuit-frying line-up. To mark the release at cinemas nationwide on 9 April 2004 of British zombie romantic comedy (or 'romzomcom', for the initiated) Shaun of the Dead, its screenwriters Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright - who also star and direct respectively - have scripted an exclusive five-page story, especially for this pulse-pounding publication! Illustrated by horrormeister Frazer Irving, There's Something About Mary is not an adaptation of a section of the plot (so you don't have to worry about spoilers) but is instead an introduction to a minor character that weaves itself into the movie's existing narrative. If you've yet to hear about what promises to be one of the year's most purely entertaining films, Shaun of the Dead is an everyday tale of life, love and the living dead, focusing on a group of friends who encounter a literal weekend from hell as their lives, loves and personal squabbles are upstaged by a full-scale invasion of the living dead. For more information, go to the movie's zarjaz website www.uip.co.uk/romzom (Flash required) for all sorts of ghoul-related fun! This is of course not 2000 AD's first association with Earthlet Pegg - fans of the sitcom Spaced will have no doubt spotted the action figures, posters and numerous copies of the Galaxy's Greatest in several episodes, and he has since gone on to lend his vocal talents to Johnny Alpha's Big Finish audio adventures. So it is with great pleasure that I welcome the Pegg and Wright droids to their debut within these hallowed pages, and hope they will drop by the Nerve Centre again in future... In the meantime, the dead walk! Have you got the guts for it? SPLUNDIG VUR THRIGG!
