Judge Dredd the Megazine #11

Judge Dredd faces something far worse than the usual street perp in this August 1991 issue of the Megazine — the cover by Dean Ormston puts him nose-to-claws with a massive, shadowy alien creature looming behind him, all gnashing teeth and razor talons, while a grotesque severed head lurks in the corner and the bold tagline "Alien Perp!" sets the tone perfectly. Dredd himself looks suitably defiant, weapon raised and jaw set, every inch the law incarnate even against an extraterrestrial threat. With Alan Grant writing and Ormston handling the full art duties on "Raptaur, Part 1," this is a confident, atmospheric opener that shows the Megazine firing on all cylinders.
