2000 AD #1171

Prog 1171 of 2000 AD arrives with a striking cover image of Judge Dredd rendered in a bold, almost sculptural style — the armored lawman strides forward through a smoke-filled, fiery backdrop, daystick in hand and ready for whatever Mega-City One can throw at him. The cover teases "Rough Justice" with Dredd and "Tough Justice" in Nemesis, where Purity Brown faces off against Torquemada, alongside further strips including Pulp Sci-Fi, Devlin Waugh, and Nikolai Dante. Published in 1999 and counting down just 21 days to the milestone Prog 2000, this issue is a fine snapshot of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic firing on all cylinders.
