2000 AD #1922

Judge Dredd thunders across this prog's cover astride his heavily armed Lawmaster, leaning forward with a golden helmet clutched in one fist as a laser-bright streak cuts through a fiery amber sky — Jake Lynch's cover art delivers a real sense of raw velocity and menace. The bold "Road Warrior!" tagline sets an appropriately gritty tone for 2015's Prog 1922, which also features "300 Seconds," brought to life by writer Ian Edginton, artist and inker Simon Coleby, colorist Chris Blythe, and letterer Annie Parkhouse. It's a finely crafted package from Rebellion that reminds you exactly why 2000 AD has kept readers hooked for decades.
