2000 AD #844

Two armored figures — Judge Dredd, baton raised, and a bald female Judge leveling a futuristic firearm — stand back-to-back against a backdrop of roiling flames and crumbling urban wreckage on this July 1993 prog. The cover art by Cliff Robinson crackles with kinetic energy, capturing the promise of the "Blazing Combat" headline dead-on. Inside, Grant Morrison's script and Carlos Ezquerra's art bring "Inferno, Part 3" to life — and as the banner proudly announces, the Judge Dredd movie is officially confirmed, making this a particularly lively issue to crack open.
