2000 AD #1335

This variant cover to 2000 AD Prog 1335 — with cover art by Jock — delivers an immediate gut-punch: Judge Dredd's helmeted face looms in the foreground, battered and defiant, while an enormous, snarling Alien towers above him against a blazing orange sky. The tagline promises an "explosive double-length Dredd/Aliens finale," making this the concluding chapter of Judge Dredd vs. Aliens: Incubus, written by John Wagner and Andy Diggle with interior art by Henry Flint. It's a thrilling 2003 package — one of comics' most relentless lawmen squared off against one of science fiction's most terrifying creatures, right down to the final page.
