2000 AD #716

Judge Dredd dominates this fiery February 1991 cover of 2000 AD Prog 716, hoisting a massive, imposing cannon above a landscape erupting in flames and laser fire — Brian Williamson's cover art crackles with raw energy. The tagline "Lethal Weapon! Fighting Petty Crime in MC-1!" sets a wryly sardonic tone that the anthology does so well. Inside, J. Wagner and Steve Yeowell team up for "First Offence — A Death Aid Interlude," promising a sharp slice of Mega-City One street-level justice.
