2000 AD #579

From the pages of Britain's celebrated weekly anthology comes 2000 AD Prog 575 — wait, Prog 579, dated 18 June 1988 — blazing onto newsstands with Steve Dillon's striking cover art. The image assembles a bold cast: a grimly helmeted Judge Dredd in the foreground, flanked by a green-skinned alien figure pressing a button at a control panel, a hunched gun-toting creature, a dark-haired woman in red, and a stocky figure in green — all rendered with Dillon's confident, kinetic linework. Crowned with the tagline "Pure Genius!", this prog features "The Krool Heart, Part 4," brought to life inside by Pete Milligan, Ewins, inker J. McCarthy, and letterer Tom Frame — a creative lineup that makes this a fine snapshot of 2000 AD at full throttle.
