2000 AD #1092

Prog 1092 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology arrives with a cover by Dermot Power that places an armored Judge Dredd astride a hulking, heavily armed robotic vehicle amid a smoky, battle-worn atmosphere — an image that captures the anthology's signature blend of authority and raw mechanical menace. Inside, this 1998 issue packs an impressive lineup of stories, including the new Cursed Earth tale "Welcome to Hell!" featuring Judge Dredd, a fresh Sinister Dexter chapter with "Downlode Under Fire!," and a Missionary Man mystery headlined "Murder at the Mardi Gras!" — plus the opening installment of "Down on Sausage Tree Farm," written by John Wagner with art and inks by Paul Marshall, colors by Gary Caldwell, and lettering by Tom Frame. It's a typically rich week for 2000 AD, which proudly carries its 1998 National Comics Award for Best British Comic right on the masthead.
