2000 AD #2192

Prog 2192 of Britain's long-running anthology series delivers a cover that earns its tagline — a massive, blood-streaked bear looms over a battle-worn Judge Dredd, who raises his weapon even as the beast bears down on him. The cover copy puts it plainly: "Dredd Targeted as Shako Attacks," promising a collision between two of 2000 AD's most formidable characters. It's a punchy, visceral image that captures exactly the kind of wild, high-stakes energy that has kept readers coming back to the Galaxy's Greatest Comic for decades.
