2000 AD #1131

This February 1999 prog of 2000 AD arrives wrapped in a brooding, fiery cover by Jason Brashill — a close, intense embrace between two figures rendered in rich reds and golds, beneath the bold tagline "Crime of Passion!" Inside, Judge Dredd ventures beyond the law in "The Scorpion Dance," with the cover also promising "Muscled Mayhem" as the Balls Brothers fight to the finish, and Nikolai Dante pulling a fast one for Valentine's Day. A well-stocked issue that captures the anthology's knack for mixing gritty action with a touch of pulpy romance.
