2000 AD #711

The 29 December 1990 holiday prog of 2000 AD arrives with a wonderfully playful cover by Philip Bond: a grinning young woman in a yellow jacket cheerfully crowns a Judge Dredd–badged snowman with a helmet, while a goggled figure lurks behind clutching a snowball — all set against a snowy red backdrop with the tagline "…when you're having fun!" Inside, Garth Ennis kicks off "Death Aid, Part 1" with art fully rendered by C. Ezquerra, making this a fine seasonal package from Fleetway that balances festive fun on the outside with what promises to be a characteristically sharp Judge Dredd yarn within.
