2000 AD #342

From November 1983, 2000 AD Prog 342 puts Judge Dredd nose-to-nose with a sweating suspect in a tense close-up that fills the entire cover — the Judge's helmeted face looming in from the right as the word "TALK!" hangs between them like a command with no room for refusal. Cam Kennedy's cover art makes brilliant use of tight framing and a stark circular spotlight to ratchet up the interrogation atmosphere. Fans of Dredd at his most imposing will find this one hard to put back on the shelf.
