2000AD #2467 p.01 - Justice Department Boot!

"Death of a Judge" Part Four is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, featuring the iconic "Justice Department boot" crashing through a door, a classic 2000 AD trope! Mike Perkins uses a chilling juxtaposition, contrasting Dredd’s cold efficiency with the trauma of a young boy witnessing a judicial execution.

The page perfectly establishes the "seeds of misery" that drive this story's vendetta, with Perkins' gritty, shadow-heavy style capturing the grim reality of life under the Law. As the first page of a pivotal chapter, this artwork is essential for understanding the psychological weight behind the impending tragedy of Judge Ronald.
