2000 AD #1975

Judge Dredd is pinned beneath a hulking, hockey-masked mutant wielding a blood-drenched cleaver overhead — and the cover of 2016's 2000 AD Prog 1975 makes absolutely sure you feel the weight of that threat. Brendan McCarthy's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, surrounding Dredd with a tangle of fallen figures in a dense, eerie forest while the headline "Top Cop for the Chop?" drives the tension home. Inside, Colin MacNeil and colorist Len O'Grady bring Part Three of "The Grindstone Cowboys" to life, with Michael Carroll's script and Annie Parkhouse's lettering rounding out a stellar creative lineup.
