2000 AD #1203

Prog 1203 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology delivers a cover by Jock that practically leaps off the page — Judge Dredd bursts through a shower of shattered glass, firing his weapon at full tilt, with the tagline "Gate Crasher: Dredd Hits the Party… No Invitation Required!" setting the tone perfectly. Inside, this 2000 issue packs five future thrills featuring Judge Dredd, Sinister Dexter, Red Fang, Missionary Man, and Nikolai Dante, with the Dredd strip "Cube Life" brought to life by writer John Wagner and artist Siku, colored by Chris Blythe and lettered by Tom Frame. A fine slice of late-summer 2000 Thrill-power that captures exactly why 2000 AD has always been a cut above.
