2000 AD #678

Prog 678 of 2000 AD arrives in May 1990 with a striking cover by David Hine that places a towering Judge Dredd at its centre, rendered in bold graphic style against a vivid red-and-blue grid — his armoured silhouette looming over a dystopian cityscape below. Surrounding him are a series of circular vignettes: a haunting pale face, a shadowed profile, and repeated helmet motifs in varying colours, building a sense of mounting tension that suits the Necropolis storyline inside. With Carlos Ezquerra on full art duties for the interior and John Wagner writing, this is a confident mid-run Prog that wears its grim atmosphere right on its sleeve.
