2000 AD #858

Judge Dredd looms large on the cover of this October 1993 prog, his badge and golden eagle-shoulder armour unmistakable as he bears down on a battered red vehicle whose wild-eyed occupants look anything but pleased to see him — a perfect visual hook for the "Roadhog Day!" traffic-patrol feature spotlighting Dredd. Peter Doherty's cover art captures the raw, gritty energy that made 2000 AD a weekly must-read, with Dredd's jaw set in that familiar iron resolve against a chaotic street scene. Inside, John Smith's writing and Doherty's art and colours continue "Roadkill, Part 3," with lettering by Tom Frame rounding out a solidly crafted installment of the anthology's signature sci-fi thrills.
