2000AD #2467 p.02 - Chilling Flashback!

Prog 2468, Mike Perkins delivers a haunting and cinematic conclusion to the penultimate episode of "Death of a Judge." The page features a chilling flashback to Dredd’s younger years, depicting a cold and clinical judicial execution that he considers "just routine."

The emotional core of the page is the juxtaposition between Dredd’s indifferent professionalism and the searing trauma of the young boy watching his world shatter. This "lesson" Dredd dismisses so casually is revealed to be the origin of a lifelong vendetta, masterfully setting the stage for the story's final, tragic confrontation. Perkins’ use of heavy shadows and tight close-ups on Dredd’s visor are an absolute visual treat!
