2000 AD #433

A monstrous, skeletal-helmeted creature lunges forward with clawed green hands and snarls "Come here, food!" — and right in its grip is a grimacing Judge Dredd, with panicked civilians scrambling in the background amid a flying lawgiver pistol. Ron Smith's cover for this August 1985 prog delivers the kind of visceral, up-close menace that made 2000 AD appointment reading every Monday. Inside, Pat Mills and David Pugh continue the "Time Killer" saga with Part 21: "Gulag" — promising another intense chapter in one of the anthology's most gripping ongoing strips.
