2000 AD #2286

Judge Dredd dominates this striking prog cover in double-exposure style — his stern, scarred face occupies one half while the other half dissolves into a densely packed cityscape of domed rooftops, towers, and Mega-City machinery, all rendered in warm sepia tones. The tagline "City Heat!" perfectly captures the tension between the Judge and the sprawling urban beast he polices. It's a visually inventive composition that reminds you why 2000 AD continues to push the boundaries of anthology cover design.
