2000 AD #1576

Judge Dredd dominates this Prog 1576 cover, astride his Lawmaster with fists clenched and badge gleaming, while a vehicle's rear window frames a menacing crew of grotesque and alien faces — a fittingly wild preview of the five stories packed inside. The bold tagline "Take a Thrill-Powered Ride!" sums up the promise neatly, with strips including Judge Dredd, Stickleback, Kingdom, Future Shocks, and Strontium Dog all represented in the header. Cover art by Cliff Robinson delivers a kinetic, larger-than-life image that captures exactly what 2000 AD was doing so well in 2008.
