2000 AD #538

Prog 538 of 2000 AD hits newsstands in September 1987 with a striking Liam Sharp cover depicting a chained Judge Dredd in the foreground, rendered in vivid orange and yellow, while an enormous stone-grey geometric face looms behind him and a mass of red, organic-looking figures crowds the background — all under the bold banner "Crimewatch 2110 AD." Inside, Grant Morrison scripts "Shock Treatment" with art by Steve Yeowell, alongside a packed lineup that includes Zenith, Universal Soldier, Mean Team, and Alabammy Blimps. A fine slice of late-eighties British comics energy at 28p Earth Money.
