2000 AD #1607

Judge Dredd looms large on the cover of 2000 AD Prog 1607, his armored fists clamping the heads of two snarling, green-skinned mutant types together as he demands, "Message getting through, creeps?" — a cover by Karl Richardson that captures Mega-City One's toughest lawman at his most uncompromising. Inside, the anthology rolls out strips including Judge Dredd, Future Shocks, Lobster Random, Stalag 666, and The Red Seas, with Robbie Morrison, Paul Marshall, Chris Blythe, and Annie Parkhouse contributing to "The Informant." A fine 2008 package from "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic," living up to its tagline with the blunt promise splashed across the bottom: Rule of Law — follow it or face the consequences.
