2000 AD #706

A gloriously off-kilter cover greets readers of this November 1990 prog, as a pair of green-gloved hands clutch a tin of "Mega-Polish" while a stern Judge Dredd looms large in the background, helmeted and unimpressed. The playful premise — "Dredd Cleans Up in Mega-City One!" — is rendered with real wit by cover artist Cliff Robinson, whose bold, detailed linework makes the gag land with genuine style. Inside, John Wagner scripts and Steve Dillon illustrates the fifth chapter of "Nightmares," making this a fine slice of what 2000 AD was delivering to British readers in 1990.
