2000 AD #1994

A blood-spattered note nailed to what appears to be a body demands Judge Dredd's attention — and on Ben Willsher's striking cover to 2000 AD #1994, Dredd stands helmeted and resolute, declaring "I'm gonna nail this sick creep!" It's a darkly gripping image that sets an appropriately grim tone for "Ladykiller Part Four," with John Wagner writing and Carlos Ezquerra handling art, inks, and colors throughout. A solid 2016 entry in the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, delivered with that unmistakable blend of black humor and hard-boiled menace.
