2000 AD #315

Judge Dredd sprints after a departing Sec-43 Hover Bus in this wonderfully playful cover from prog 315, as a child's speech bubble cheekily observes, "Look, Mummy… the Judge is going to miss his bus!" Ron Smith's artwork captures the kinetic energy of Mega-City One perfectly, with sleek futuristic vehicles streaming overhead and a fully armored Dredd lunging forward in hot pursuit. It's a fun, lighthearted image that still delivers the high-octane visual punch 2000 AD was known for in 1983 — and there's a free gift inside too.
