2000 AD #2387

A gaunt, multi-limbed creature with elongated claws has Judge Dredd dead in its grip on this unsettling cover for 2000 AD Prog 2387 — the tagline "Bite Night!" and "The darkness bares its teeth in Judge Dredd" making the tone unmistakably clear. Dredd, still clutching his Lawgiver, looks to be fighting back even as the monstrous thing looms over him in a sickly, shadow-drenched atmosphere rendered in moody blues and greys. Rebellion's flagship anthology continues to deliver this kind of visceral, atmospheric cover art that reminds you exactly why 2000 AD has remained one of comics' most distinct voices.
