2000 AD #443

Prog 443 of 2000 AD (9 November 1985) delivers one of the weekly anthology's most commanding covers: Judge Dredd looms large against his own badge-shield insignia, raising his Lawgiver pistol with grim authority while the tagline "Respect the Badge — Fear the Gun!" leaves little room for argument. Robin Smith's cover art captures every detail of the Judge's armored uniform, eagle-crested helmet, and unwavering jaw with confident, no-nonsense linework. Inside, the anthology format means there's plenty more to dig into, including the ongoing Nemesis the Warlock saga — a fine grab for any fan of British comics in their 1985 prime.
