2000 AD #1630

Judge Dredd dominates the cover of 2000 AD Prog 1630, rendered in bold detail by cover artist Jon Davis-Hunt — armored, helmeted, and braced against what appears to be a massive, battle-scarred mechanical figure in the shadow of Mega-City One's towering blocks. The tagline "Balance of Power — In a City Divided, Can Justice Prevail?" sets a gripping tone for this 2009 prog, which also packs in strips featuring Necrophim, The 86ers, Low Life, and Nikolai Dante. It's a packed weekly from "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic" with Carl Critchlow handling full art duties on the Dredd story inside, written by the veteran John Wagner.
