2000 AD and Starlord #111

Prog 111 of 2000 AD and Starlord, dated 5 May 1979, arrives with a striking Ron Smith cover that puts Judge Dredd right in the thick of it — unarmed and lunging forward as a green-armored villain swings a wrecking ball directly at his skull, the taunt "No gun, no chance, Dredd!" blazoned across the top. The dynamic, close-quarters composition sells the desperation of the moment perfectly, with a futuristic cityscape stretching out behind the brawl under the teaser "Assault at Hell's Junction!" Inside, Smith also handles art duties on "The Exo-Men, Part 1," promising more of that kinetic energy carried through to the story pages.
