2000 AD #2185

Judge Dredd stands nose-to-nose with a grizzled Wild West outlaw in a battered hat — a tense face-off that perfectly sells this prog's "U.S. Marshals!" theme of Mega-City Law colliding with frontier lawlessness. The cover crackles with that particular pleasure of watching two very different kinds of hard men refuse to blink, and 2000 AD's 2020 anthology format means there's plenty more waiting inside beyond just this showdown. A fine pick-up for anyone who's ever wondered what happens when a Judge's badge meets the Old West.
