2000 AD #842

From July 1993, 2000 AD Prog 842 promises "5 Red-Hot New Thrills Inside," and the cover by David Hine delivers an immediate jolt: Judge Dredd rides atop a snarling, pink-haired cyborg thug, baseball bat raised and ready to bring down some Mega-City justice. Teaser vignettes along the side flag the issue's other strips — Maniac 5, Really & Truly, and Big Dave — giving a sense of just how much variety Fleetway packed into a single 60p weekly. Inside, Grant Morrison and Carlos Ezquerra kick off "Inferno, Part 1," making this a fine jumping-on point for fans of sharp writing and kinetic art.
