2000 AD #831

The cover of Prog 831 delivers on its tagline — "Big Robots Behaving Badly!" — with a striking Simon Jacob illustration of two massive armoured combatants locked in brutal conflict, one a gleaming mechanical giant wielding a heavy cross-shaped weapon, the other a snarling, clawed beast-warrior mid-lunge against a fiery sky. The cover copy promises "Armoured Gideon Fights Heavyweight," and that clash of titans is rendered with impressive physicality and detail. Inside, G. Ennis scripts "The Judge Who Lives Downstairs" with art by Ewins, colours by John Burns, and lettering by Tom Frame — a strong creative lineup for any week in 2000 AD's 1993 run.
