2000 AD #286

From October 1982, this British weekly sci-fi anthology comes in hot with a cover by Carlos Ezquerra that puts Judge Dredd jaw-to-jaw with a leering skull-faced villain and a sinister rat, the jagged speech bubble taunting him with "We Got Yer Wife, Dredd!" — a genuinely unsettling provocation rendered in Ezquerra's gritty, kinetic style. Inside, Alan Grant and Ian Gibson continue their "Football Crazy" storyline into its fourth chapter, promising more of the offbeat Mega-City One mayhem this comic does so well. Bonus points for the Robo-World poster with full assembly instructions tucked inside — 18p well spent.
