2000 AD #2058

Prog 2058 of 2000 AD sets the tension at a knife's edge, with cover artist Cliff Robinson delivering a gripping nose-to-nose standoff between Judge Dredd — gold eagle shoulder pad prominent, gun barrel pressed between them — and a uniformed East Meg figure bearing the name "ZIMA," red-caped and equally unyielding. The tagline says it all: "East Meets West in a Cold-War Stand-off," making this a perfect visual encapsulation of "Black Snow Part 4," with script by Michael Carroll and interior art by P. J. Holden and colorist Quinton Winter. It's a reminder of why 2000 AD's blend of political tension and hard-edged lawman drama kept readers gripped throughout 2017.
