2000 AD #1028

Two armored Judge Dredds square off against each other beneath a looming moon, one in clean blue-and-silver and the other in battered, battle-worn green — the cover headline promises "Dredd vs. Dredd: Darkside – The Final Conflict," making Paul Marshall's cover art a fittingly tense showdown image. Beyond the main event, this 1997 prog is packed with strip content including Slaine, Janus PSI, Vector 13, and Sinister Dexter, plus a teaser for Havok asking "Dare you face the Suma-Kai?" The Dredd confrontation framing alone makes this a compelling snapshot of 2000 AD firing on all cylinders.
