2000 AD #571

Prog 571 of 2000 AD lands on 23 April 1988, with a cover by Steve Dillon that puts Judge Dredd front and center in all his armored, eagle-shouldered authority — stern-faced beneath that signature helmet, his "DREDD" badge catching the eye amid the dystopian cityscape behind him. A punk-haired figure armed with a large gun lurks in the lower left, while the bold cover tagline "I Am the Law — Back to the Old Routine?" hints at something unsettled in Mega-City One. Inside, Dillon also handles the art for "Hit Two, Part 4: A World of Our Own," making this a fine showcase for one of the strip's most distinctive artistic voices.
