2000 AD #2079

Judge Dredd stands front and center in full armor, daystick in hand, backed by a ranked formation of fellow Judges stretching into the distance — a striking image of authoritarian solidarity rendered with bold, assured linework by cover artist Mick McMahon. The tagline "Top of the Class" nods to the cover's theme of Dredd's enduring stature among the cadets of '79, making Prog 2079 a confident statement of the character's staying power in 2018. Inside, Alec Worley and Karl Richardson kick things off with "Nans of Anarchy Part 1," promising the kind of gloriously offbeat storytelling that keeps 2000 AD essential reading.
