2000 AD #476

A vivid snapshot of Mega-City One's finest under pressure, this prog 476 cover by Ian Gibson throws Judge Dredd into a storm of invoices while a furious dark-haired woman snarls "You'll pay for this, Dredd!" — all against a backdrop of menacing, glowing-eyed creatures lurking in the shadows. The bold tagline "Old Bill in the Future City!" sets up a story that clearly mixes bureaucratic absurdity with genuine threat. Brett Ewins brings the interior art to a "Sudden Death!" chapter that promises the wild tonal range 2000 AD was delivering week in, week out in 1986.
