2000AD #2466 p.03 - Dredd’s Attempted Murder!

In this third page of Prog 2466, the tension shifts from medical recovery to a chilling assassination attempt within the hospital walls. Mike Perkins uses tight, claustrophobic framing to depict a nurse attempting to inject a lethal dose of insulin into an unconscious Judge Dredd. Or is it Dredd? The page reaches a dramatic crescendo as the Dredd imposter reveals himself to the nurse! Perkins’ signature use of heavy shadows and high-contrast lighting perfectly captures the grim, high-stakes atmosphere as a simple medical check-up spirals into a homicide investigation and a potential hostage situation.
