After reading a newspaper article predicting a rise in public interest in science fiction, IPC employee Kevin Gosnell hit on the idea of a sci-fi comic. Editorial director John Sanders put Pat Mills in charge of the project. Early talks between Mills and John Wagner produced the ideas of reviving Dan Dare and the inclusion of a new strip named Judge Dredd. Preparations for the first issue's release coincided with moral outrage over Action, and so a number of its strips had to be reworked so as not to offend Disgusted of Tumbridge Wells.

- Originally named 2000 AD as it wasn't expected for the comic to run as long as it has, the publication was originally concieved to take advantage of a coming wave of Science-Fiction and futuristic movies being released at the time. Credited with bringing a large volume of UK talent to the American Comics market, 2000 AD has also been a source of numerous film ideas and licenses. A long standing gag has been that the publication is actually edited by an extra-terrestrial named Tharg the Mighty, largely recognised for his use of alien dialogue.

A long standing gag has been that the publication is actually edited by an extra-terrestrial named Tharg the Mighty, largely recognised for his use of alien dialogue. In addition to the Judge Dredd Universe, 2000 AD is also responsible for creating the following other characters, some of whom have appeared alongside Dredd himself.
* Rogue Trooper (Rogue Trooper)
* Hammerstein (Ro-Busters/ABC Warriors)
* Nemesis (Nemesis the Warlock) (Not having met Dredd but has met several judges and Satanus)
