2000 AD #722

Prog 722 of 2000 AD arrives in March 1991 as a self-proclaimed "Special Low-Visibility Prog," and the cover by Steve Cook makes that theme unmistakable — a bold, geometric rendering of Judge Dredd's helmeted face looms large against a military camouflage background in muted tans and reds. The stark, almost stencil-like design strips Dredd down to pure graphic menace, his eagle-crested visor and grille rendered in sharp black outlines that feel more like a targeting reticle than a portrait. It's a striking, unconventional cover that showcases the anthology's willingness to experiment with form, setting the tone for the stories within from John Tomlinson, Simon Jacob, and letterer Tom Frame.
