“Death's Head, Part 1”

Prog 178 of 2000 AD plants Judge Dredd front and center in full armored authority — eagle-crested helmet, gold shoulder pads, and twin guns leveled at the reader — with the crumbling red rock of Mega-City One looming behind him, while an unsettling alien visage glowers from the top-left corner. Mike McMahon's cover work captures Dredd with real physicality, all muscle and menace, and the banner proudly declares him "Britain's No. 1 Sci-Fi Hero." Inside, five new stories await, including the opening chapter of "Death's Head," and this 1980 issue even came with a free badge — a proper treat for any reader picking it up off the spinner rack.
