2000 AD #690

From the pages of Britain's beloved weekly anthology comes 2000 AD Prog 690, dated 4 August 1990, featuring Judge Dredd as part of the ongoing "Necropolis" saga. The cover by David Hine places a formidable Judge Dredd atop a small vessel cutting through turbulent, fiery waters, gripping a pole while a gaunt, desperate figure cowers behind him against a smouldering red sky — the tagline "Das Boot: A Ray of Hope for MC-1" setting a tone of grim, hard-won survival. Inside, John Wagner writes and Carlos Ezquerra illustrates and colors Part 17 of what is shaping up to be one of Mega-City One's most harrowing chapters.
