2000 AD and Starlord #117

Judge Dredd dominates this June 1979 cover by Ron Smith, leaping across the top of a futuristic ambulance with one hand outstretched, while a figure cowers nearby and the city of Mega-City One stretches out behind him. A speech bubble makes his intentions unmistakably clear — "I've already got you for theft, kidnap and assault, lawbreaker! Don't add murder to the list!" — perfectly capturing the Judge's blend of authority and relentless pursuit. The bold "Manhunt in Mega-City One!" headline sets the tone for a weekly prog that continued to deliver the kind of high-energy British science fiction comics fans were eagerly lining up for every Monday.
