2000 AD #1879

2000 AD Prog 1879 arrives in 2014 with a cover by Phil Winslade that puts Judge Dredd front and center — jaw set, visor gleaming, and a heavy automatic weapon raised in one gloved fist against a dazzling backdrop of neon streaks. The tagline "Arms Race: When the shooting starts, who will be left standing?" sets an ominous tone that carries right into the new Dredd thriller "Shooters Night Part One," brought to life by writer John Wagner and artist/inker John McCrea with colors by Chris Blythe. A sharp addition to any 2000 AD collection, this prog delivers that unmistakable blend of grim futuristic menace that keeps Mega-City One so compulsively readable.
