2000 AD #1737

Prog 1737 of 2000 AD arrives with a striking Sean Phillips cover painting that puts Cadet Anderson front and center — a teal-mohawked young woman in punk street clothes, fishnet stockings, and knee-high boots, posed defiantly against a moody red backdrop while shadowy figures linger behind her. The cover copy says it all: she's on the wrong side of the law, and the story kicking off inside is titled "Punk & Disorderly: Scream Part One," written by Gordon Rennie with art and colors by Lee Carter. It's a confident, visually arresting 2011 package that promises a fresh, edgier chapter for one of the Judge Dredd universe's most compelling characters.
