Judge Dredd finds himself in a grim predicament on Dylan Teague's cover for this 2014 prog, pinned down and grappling with a monstrous mutant mega-parasite whose spiraling, tooth-ringed maw dominates the composition with genuinely unsettling menace. The cover's tagline — "Worm Food! Can Dredd stomach an attack of the mutant mega-parasite?" — sets the tone perfectly for "Squirm! Part Three," with Carroll, Dyer, Blythe, and Parkhouse delivering the goods inside. A gripping installment in one of British comics' most enduring anthologies.
