2000 AD and Tornado #170

A monstrous, bulbous-eyed alien creature dominates Mike McMahon's unsettling cover for 2000 AD and Tornado Prog 170, its clawed hand reaching toward a tiny Judge Dredd trapped within a circular force field — the creature's speech bubble coldly declaring, "It is useless to resist, little man — you have been judged dead!" The tagline "Dredd Meets — The Necromancer!" promises a formidable confrontation inside, while the cover's sickly green palette gives the whole thing a wonderfully creepy alien menace. Also inside, Carlos Ezquerra illustrates Part 5 of Harry Harrison and Kelvin Gosnell's The Stainless Steel Rat Saves the World, making this 1980 Prog a solid package of sci-fi thrills.
