2000 AD #2216

Prog 2216 of 2000 AD plants Judge Dredd front and center in a striking painted cover — gun in hand, badge gleaming, looming over the scene with the graffiti-tagged walls of what looks like a sun-baked, dust-blown street around him. The cover tagline "High Noon! Dredd Makes His Stand" sets an unmistakable western-showdown mood, and the dramatic low-angle composition makes Mega-City One's toughest lawman feel genuinely imposing. Another packed prog from Rebellion, this one wears its attitude right on its sleeve.
