2000 AD #1020

Judge Dredd dominates this prog's cover in full armour, his golden badge gleaming, as a green-skinned alien hand thrusts a weapon toward him against a blood-red moon — a striking image from cover artists Jason Brashill that sets a tense, lunar mood for "Blood Dredd Moon: Lethal Force in Luna-1." Beyond the Dredd feature, prog 1020 packs in four additional strips — Mambo, Time Flies, Mazeworld, and Rogue Troopers — making it a satisfying anthology package from Egmont Fleetway's 1996 lineup. Mazeworld's seventh chapter, crafted entirely by Arthur Ranson with words by Alan Grant and lettering by Ellie de Ville, is reason enough alone to seek this one out.
