Judge Dredd stands where Lady Liberty once held her torch — armored, helmeted, and unyielding atop the statue's platform as Mega-City One's towering, labyrinthine skyline stretches endlessly behind him. It's a striking image that says everything about the city's relationship with freedom, perfectly encapsulated by the tagline: "Welcome to Mega-City One. Leave your freedom at the door." Cliff Robinson's linework renders both the grandeur of the statue and the overwhelming scale of the megalopolis with impressive detail, making this one of those covers that rewards a long look.
