Judge Dredd the Megazine #2

Judge Dredd looms large on this May 1992 cover of The Megazine #2, rendered in gritty detail by cover artist Chris Halls — helmeted, Lawgiver raised, and hauling a snarling perp into frame while a bloodied figure sprawls at the edge of the composition. The tagline "Can't Pay? Won't Pay! Joe Dredd — Debt Collector!" gives the whole thing a darkly comic edge, reinforced by the ID badge identifying Dredd as a "Global Debt Collection Agent." With a free poster inside and the second part of "Texas City Sting" from writer John Wagner and artist Yan Shimony, this fortnightly issue delivers plenty of Mega-City justice for 99p.
