2000 AD #1342

Prog 1342 of 2000 AD announces itself with a genuinely unsettling cover by Boo Cook — a scarred, cigar-chomping bruiser astride a motorcycle, his massive pink crustacean claws raised in unmistakable threat, tagged with the cheeky tagline "This ain't no boil-in-the-bag villain…" Inside, John Wagner and John Burns kick off "Revenge of the Chief Judge's Man," promising the kind of hard-edged Judge Dredd thriller that made 2000 AD essential weekly reading in 2003. Whether you're a longtime Squaxx or just diving in, this prog makes a memorable first impression.
