Judge Dredd: Legends of the Law #12

The second chapter of "Dredd of Knight" arrives in this November 1995 DC series entry, and John Byrne's cover art captures the tension perfectly — Judge Dredd, jaw set and helmet gleaming, comes face-to-face with a pale, fanged, glowing-eyed figure whose clawed hand grips the Judge's face in an unsettlingly close confrontation. The orange-gold background pushes both figures forward with real intensity, making this one of the more viscerally striking covers in the run. With McGreal, Dobbyn, and Kaalberg handling the interior, this three-part arc is shaping up to be a compelling showcase for Mega-City One's toughest lawman facing something far outside the ordinary criminal beat.
