Judge Dredd stands armed and resolute in the foreground, while a haunting gallery of decayed, monstrous faces looms large behind him — a genuinely unsettling composition that earns the tagline "Dire Warnings: Dark Days Ahead for Mega-City." Rebellion's long-running British anthology delivers another prog steeped in dread, with the cover's atmosphere suggesting trouble of a deeply creepy variety closing in on the Hall of Justice's finest. If you like your future-law enforcement served with a side of genuine menace, this one's hard to put down.
