2000 AD and Tornado #148

Judge Dredd looms large on Mike McMahon's striking cover for 2000 AD and Tornado Prog 148, January 1980 — armored, eagle-shouldered, and leveling a massive weapon with the blunt warning "You're next, punk!" dripping in red against the bold circular backdrop. McMahon captures Dredd at his most imposing, all hard lines and grim authority, making this a vivid snapshot of the strip's raw early-80s energy. Inside, Ron Smith illustrates John Howard's "Alien Seeds," promising the kind of sharp, inventive sci-fi storytelling that kept readers coming back every Monday.
