2000 AD and Starlord #89

Prog 89 of 2000 AD and Star Lord, dated 4 November 1978, arrives with a striking Mike McMahon cover showing Judge Dredd slumped and apparently stricken in the grip of a menacing armored figure, while a speech bubble pleads, "Don't die… sob… dear Judge Dwedd — please don't die!" The bold cover blurb "Murder in Mega City One!" sets a tense, dramatic tone that pairs neatly with the opening chapter of "The Day the Law Died!" Also promised inside is a brand-new strip, "Preying Mantis," making this a particularly packed weekly from one of British comics' most energetic anthologies.
