2000 AD #994

A massive, grim-faced Judge Dredd dominates this 1996 cover of 2000 AD #994, rendered in fiery oranges and golds as a crowd of silhouetted figures surges across a war-torn landscape below him — the unmistakable tension of "The Pit: Bongo War, Part 3" written across the mood before you even open the pages. Cover artist S. B. Davis delivers a striking composition that makes Dredd feel genuinely monumental, his lawgiver raised and his badge blazing at center. With stories teasing a "Tax War" for Sinister Dexter and a "Secret War" from Vector 13 alongside the Bongo War itself, this prog packs plenty of reasons to grab it off the shelf.
