2000 AD #1179

This striking Prog 1179 cover by Cliff Robinson presents three figures in dramatic close-up profile — a helmeted Judge Dredd looming at the top, a dark-haired woman in the middle, and a second male face below — rendered in a stark, moody palette that immediately signals tension and intrigue. The cover copy promises a packed issue, teasing Dredd facing power, corruption, and lies in "Who Judges the Judges?", the Glimmer Rats pushed to their limits in "Dead by Dawn!", and old grudges circling back to haunt Strontium Dog in "Sins of the Father!" For readers of British comics in 2000, this is exactly the kind of confident, atmospheric anthology package that kept 2000 AD essential weekly reading.
