2000 AD #1671

This prog packs five series into one satisfying package — Judge Dredd, Strontium Dog, A.B.C. Warriors, Ampney Crucis, and Nikolai Dante — making it a genuinely rewarding pick for any 2000 AD fan. The cover by Cliff Robinson puts Judge Dredd front and center, spear in hand and shield raised against a torrent of fire, while an enormous, snarling dragon looms over him with claws outstretched and flames pouring from its jaws — a vivid promise of the "Dredd the Dragonslayer" action waiting inside. Gordon Rennie and P. J. Holden's "Tour of Duty: Dragon's Den Part Four" anchors the Dredd content, with Chris Blythe's colors and Annie Parkhouse's lettering rounding out a creative team clearly firing on all cylinders.
