2000 AD #2299

This prog puts Judge Dredd front and center doing what he does best — a wild-haired, chain-wearing perp is getting hauled in hard against a graffiti-tagged wall while a second criminal fires desperately from above, "WANTED" poster in hand. The tagline "Street Justice!" and "On the Frontline of Mega-City Law Enforcement" frame the cover's kinetic energy perfectly, promising another intense dispatch from the future's toughest beat. If you've ever wanted a single image that captures what 2000 AD is all about, prog 2299 makes a pretty compelling case.
