2000 AD and Starlord #108

A hulking mechanical monstrosity looms over two terrified civilians on Mike McMahon's vivid cover for this April 1979 instalment of 2000 AD and Starlord — the robot's display screen ominously reading "The Doctor will examine you now… say ah…" as the screaming pair scramble to escape. Inside, Judge Dredd's saga continues with "The Day the Law Died, Part 20," promising high stakes in what the cover itself cheekily asks might be "The Final Prog?" Ro-Busters also gets a shout-out at the foot of the page, making Prog 108 a packed slice of late-seventies British comics energy at just 10p Earth money.
