2000 AD #555

Judge Dredd stands unmoved and immovable on the cover of 2000 AD Prog 555 (January 2, 1988), declaring "Like it or lump it, creep — it stays!" while an agitated citizen in a "Citizens Against Change" jacket strains against a baton in the foreground, and an eerie horde of alien-looking creatures looms in the murky background. John Higgins's cover art balances Dredd's armored authority against the chaos surrounding him with real compositional flair. Inside, Pete Milligan and artist Ewins continue "The Bewilderness" with part eight of what promises to be a suitably strange slice of Mega-City storytelling.
