2000AD is a weekly Science Fiction/Fantasy Magazine in comic format. Which was started in 1977 and has continued with only six week gap for the last twenty-three years. Although it started as pure science-fiction the introduction of Sláine (in 1985) changed than notion slightly. ( recently Button Man,Mazeworld )
The first issue was called Programme ( or Prog. for short ) 1 and this has continued to the present day after over 1360 weekly issues, mostly 32 pages each. ( features such as in Prog. 1000's supplement and specials give a full history of 2000AD. )
