2000 AD #884

This April 1994 prog of Britain's beloved weekly anthology puts Judge Dredd front and center — helmeted, steely-eyed, and riding hard atop a monstrous, grotesque cyborg figure whose mechanical eye-piece and snarling face dominate the foreground in unsettling detail. The cover, fully painted by John Higgins, bursts with deep purples and fiery oranges that give the whole thing a fevered, visceral energy. Inside, Higgins also writes and illustrates "Scales of Justice, Part 1," while the banner promises the return of Luke Kirby — plenty of reasons to grab this one off the newsstand.
