The latest Alternative Strategies

Final copies! Alternative Strategies is back for the final issue of 2023. Buy the latest issue now or find a stockist.

Static Shock Weekend is remembered through a post-festival pint with Tom Ellis and photos and art from Leigh Arthur & Lukas Fraser; we interview Juliet Jacques about her new play We Need To Talk, the headrush that was 2017 and the usefulness of post punk forty years on; PC World’s William Dante Deacon interviews Michael Molcher about the links between Judge Dredd, Mega-City One and the history and affect of British policing.

There are also exclusive comics from JMKE, Jonny Brokenbrow, Leomi Sadler & Richard Short plus columns from Tom Oberst and Creg Clarrrk. Dig in, read, make your own...
