Judge Dredd the Megazine #17

This February 1992 issue of Judge Dredd: The Megazine delivers a visceral cover by Dean Ormston, depicting Dredd locked in brutal close-quarters combat with a fearsome reptilian creature — claws, blood, and raw aggression filling every inch of the frame, with the bold tagline "To the Death!" leaving little doubt about the stakes. Inside, Dean Ormston pulls triple duty as artist, inker, and colorist on "Raptaur, Part 7," with Alan Grant on writing duties and lettering by Tom Frame. It's a confident, propulsive package that showcases exactly why the Megazine earned its place alongside 2000 AD as essential British comics reading.
