Elephantmen: Shots #1
In "When the Night Comes," Judge Dredd confronts a surreal hallucination sparked by the Umpty Candy—a hippo in a trench coat impersonating a Judge—before a century-long leap forward finds Hip Flask and Miki uncovering the mysterious Umpty Gun, triggered by a sudden deja vu of a past life in fetish gear and a weaponized motorcycle. Written by Richard Starkings and illustrated by Boo Cook in a bold, unified artistic vision, this issue blends psychological tension with retro-futurist mystery, all wrapped in a striking cover by J. Scott Campbell.
