2000 AD #889

Prog 889 of "the Galaxy's Greatest Comic" hits with Judge Dredd front and center, rendered by cover artist Mick Austin in an imposing stance — glowering beneath his eagle-crested helmet, baseball bat raised and lawgiver holstered at his hip, every inch the uncompromising enforcer of Mega-City One. The tagline "Dangerous Life-Forms!" sets a fitting tone for what's inside, with five strips on offer: Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, Slaine, Armoured Gideon, and Mambo. With John Wagner writing and Carlos Ezquerra handling art, inks, and colors on the Dredd strip, this May 1994 prog is a satisfying weekly package from one of British comics' most enduring titles.
