Judge Dredd the Megazine #47

That snarling, cybernetically altered face filling the cover of this February 1994 issue belongs to Mean Machine Angel — dial cranked up and bloodstained tile wall looming behind him — rendered in unsettling close-up by cover artist Chris Halls. The tagline "You Are the Mean Machine!" makes the confrontation feel bracingly personal, tying neatly into John Wagner's interior story with art and color by Greg Staples. It's a boldly visceral package from Fleetway's fortnightly Megazine at its mid-nineties best.
