Roxy Romance Comic Returns From Rebellion in February 2025 Solicits

Roxy returns with Mags Visaggio, Alex De Campi, Nadia Shammas, Sarah Gordon, Eric Henderson, Sterric, Jaws Stone, Vv Glass and Hannah Templer

Roxy was the very first weekly British comic aimed at teenage girls and women. It was a British girls romance comic published weekly by Amalgamated Press and Fleetway Publications between 1958 and 1963 for 288 issues before merging with fellow romance comic, Valentine. Roxy was a smash hit, opening up the comic book market for other publications, such as its sister comic, Marilyn. Roxy's gimmick was that the lead story was meant to be told be a pop star, talking about a chaste fan encounter and included the likes of Tommy Steele, Joe Henderson, Johnny Duncan, Tony Brent and Jackie Rae.

In 2018, Rebellion Developments purchased the rights to the pre-1970 Amalgamated Press/Fleetway/IPC comic titles, including Roxy. And in 2025, will be reviving the comic as the Roxy Romance Reborn graphic novel, with stories by Mags Visaggio, Alex De Campi, Nadia Shammas, Sarah Gordon, Eric Henderson, Sterric, Jaws Stone, Vv Glass and Hannah Templer. It will be published in February 2025, along with the other Rebellion/2000AD and Judge Dredd titles below, including the Free Comic Book Day Best Of 2000AD.

The early 80s saw 2000 AD hit its golden era. With Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, Rogue Trooper, Sláine and more firing on all cylinders it became the UK's most exciting and innovative comic. Its covers played no small part in its appeal, and those covers were the brainchild of Robin Smith whose job was to lay out a cover design to pass to an artist who would transform it into the finished product. This collection of some of Smith's cover layouts shows just how integral his ideas were to some of 2000 AD's most famous and revered covers. Featuring covers by some of the galaxy's greatest artists, including Brian Bolland, Dave Gibbons, Carlos Ezquerra, Kevin O'Neill, Mick McMahon, Ian Gibson, Alan Davis, Steve Dillon, Cam Kennedy, Massimo Belardinelli, Eric Bradbury, Brett Ewins, Glenn Fabry, Ian Kennedy, José Ortiz, Cliff Robinson, Kim Raymond, Ron Smith, Brendan McCarthy, and Bryan Talbot.
