2000 AD #2129

Judge Dredd dominates this 2019 prog from Rebellion, enthroned in regal authority with a giant eagle spreading its wings above him and the Book of the Law chained at his side — a ruler answerable to no one but justice itself. The tagline "Once Upon a Crime… Break the Law and He'll Throw the Book at You" captures the dry wit that makes 2000 AD such a pleasure, blending menace with a knowing wink. At £2.85, it's a fine slice of British comics firepower.
