2000 AD #1155

Prog 1155 of Britain's long-running anthology puts Judge Dredd front and center in a raw, visceral cover by Greg Staples — the helmeted lawman charges forward, weapon raised and jaw set in a battle cry, surrounded by the crushing grip of alien hands, with the bold declaration "Victory or Death!" leaving no doubt about the stakes. The cover promises exactly what the blurb delivers: Dredd leading a suicide mission to save Mega-City One in "War Games, Part 3," written by John Wagner with interior art by Charlie Adlard. For anyone following this 1999 storyline, this is one prog you won't want to skip.
