2000 AD #847

Prog 847 of 2000 AD puts Judge Dredd front and center in a storm of tumbling brass shell casings — dozens of spent cartridges filling every corner of the frame around his helmeted, red-banded visage, with a grim cityscape looming behind him. The cover by Steve Yeowell has a raw, kinetic energy that perfectly suits the "Maniac 5" badge displayed prominently at the bottom. Inside, Grant Morrison and Carlos Ezquerra bring "Inferno, Part 6" to the page, making this a fine showcase of early-nineties British comics firing on all cylinders.
