2000AD #2467 p.04 - Crime Scene Investigation Concludes!

Prog 2467, artist Mike Perkins uses masterfully tight close-ups to heighten the tension as Judge Dredd and Judge Ronald conclude their investigation at the crime scene. The dialogue highlights Ronald's "robot senses" detecting the lingering scent of "blood and fear," adding a chilling layer to the procedural drama.

The bottom of the page shifts to a haunting, large-scale cinematic shot outside the Aston Rogers Block, where the Judges' Lawmasters sit in the shadow of the city's oppressive architecture. The final panels introduce a looming, mysterious figure watching Dredd from the shadows, effectively planting the "poisoned fruit" of the story's revenge-driven climax!
