2000 AD #1157

Prog 1157 of 2000 AD (August 1999) puts Judge Dredd front and center in a blistering cover by Greg Staples — the armored lawman crouches low, blazing away with twin weapons as shell casings fly and smoke billows around him, with the cover copy warning he's on a suicide mission surrounded by killer robots. The bold tagline "Give 'Em Both Barrels!" captures the all-out intensity of the image perfectly. Inside, John Wagner continues "War Games" in Part 5, with art by Andy Clarke, inks by S. Baskerville, colors by Chris Blythe, and lettering by Tom Frame — a strong creative lineup for one of Dredd's most pressured moments.
