Judge Dredd looms large on this February 1993 prog, rendered by cover artist Mick Austin in a striking low-angle composition — the armored lawman braced against a smoky red sky, unleashing a heavy weapon with a muzzle flash crackling at the barrel's tip. The bold tagline "Law and Ordnance!" captures the cover's raw energy perfectly, promising stories spanning Dredd, Strong-Arms, and Juvenile Offenders within. It's also a special "Thrill the World" benefit prog, making this particular Saturday edition a little more than your average week in Mega-City One.
