2000 AD #2345

A battered but unbowed Judge Dredd fills the cover of this 2000 AD prog, his name-plate badge prominent on his chest, weapons at the ready, and blood streaking his weathered face beneath that unmistakable helmet. Dan Cornwell's linework gives the figure a gritty, textured weight that suits the cover's tagline perfectly: "Is Dredd tracking a mob killer… or a man on the inside?" It's a compelling setup that promises the kind of morally charged street-level tension 2000 AD does so well.
