We are beyond excited to announce that Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury (along with Alex Bertram-Powell) will be in store on Wednesday May 16 performing extracts from their new album DROKK: Music Inspired By Mega-City One.

The new album, from the creative force behind Portishead and Invada Records, lends a John Carpenter-esque soundscape to the bleak dystopian future of Judge Dredd. It compels the listener to stay a while and holds them in its grasp for just shy of an hour.

If you don’t believe us, you can read gushing reviews over at The Line Of Best Fit and The Quietus. Don’t say we didn’t warn you … DROKK is going to be one of the biggest and best events we’ve had at Orbital, so make sure you’re there!

You can listen to selections from the album and buy digital downloads at drokk.bandcamp.com.

RSVP to the event on Facebook.

Few writer/artists are as prolific as Roger Langridge these days. Aside from writing the adaptation of John Carter: A Princess Of Mars for Marvel Comics, he’s also written and drawn the critically-acclaimed Snarked and The Muppets for Boom Studios, as well as gearing up for the relaunch of Popeye from IDW Publishing next month … In short, he’s a very busy guy.

Nevertheless he’s found time to host an exhibition here at Orbital Comics which will run from April 28 through to May 25, featuring some of his best and most recognisable work. In addition, Roger will be appearing in-store on the 28th from 4pm to sign, sketch and meet with fans. Whether you love his work on The Muppets, Fred The Clown, Snarked or Knuckles The Malevolent Nun, there really is something for everyone!
