2000 AD #219

Traffic duty, Mega-City One style — and it looks absolutely chaotic. Colin Wilson's cover for Prog 219 (4 July 1981) puts Judge Dredd in full action mode, airborne above a sprawling pile-up of vehicles as stumm gas billows through what appears to be a tunnel, with the cover text making clear this is a high-stakes intercept of a mopad. With Alan Grant writing and Ezquerra on art and inks for the interior, this weekly British anthology delivers the kind of gloriously busy street-level mayhem that made 2000 AD such a vital read in 1981.
