2000 AD #835

Judge Dredd dominates this 1993 prog in trademark steely fashion — his helmeted face fills the right side of the cover, jaw set with grim authority, while a massive lawgiver pistol points front and center and a downed, chain-wrapped perp sprawls at his feet. Cliff Robinson's cover work captures the gritty urban tension of Mega-City One perfectly, with a desperate figure scrambling up a staircase in the background under the blunt tagline "Gun Law! Dredd Takes Out the Trash." One of five future thrills packed inside, this issue also launches "The Great Brain Robbery, Part 1," brought to life by the combined talents of M. Millar and R. Smith.
