2000 AD #2229

Judge Dredd strides forward in commanding fashion on this striking cover for 2000 AD Prog 2229, his armored green uniform and eagle-shouldered helmet instantly recognizable as he advances over a heap of shattered, skull-faced robotic wreckage. Behind him, a gold-helmeted figure rides what appears to be a battered vehicle through a murky, industrial cityscape, while the bold tagline — "CRUNCH POINT! Neither man nor machine can stand in the way of the law" — sets a mood of relentless authority. It's a vivid, atmospheric piece that captures everything satisfying about Mega-City One's toughest lawman doing what he does best.
