2000 AD #1505

Three Judges thunder across a dust-kicked wasteland on their Lawmaster bikes, with the towering silhouette of Mega-City One looming behind them — it's a formation ride that feels like history in motion. This is Prog 1505 from 2006, kicking off "Origins Part 1: The Mission," a mega-epic by the definitive Dredd team of John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. The cover itself is the work of Brian Bolland, whose crisp linework gives the scene a monumental weight entirely fitting for a story promising to ride straight into the heart of Dredd's past.
