Description

What can I say? This is my favorite Dredd image. It's possible THE finest and most memorable piece of Bolland Dredd artwork. I love it. Everyone remembers this page no matter what side of the Atlantic you grew up on.

Originally published as 2000AD Prog 227 page 21, but soon took on a much larger place in the realm of comics. I feel lucky to own this and the weight of its significance is not lost on me whatsoever. It sums up everything that this character means in one knockout panel.

I also picked up the page that precedes this one because it explains why the hell Dredd wants someone to "Gaze" into his fist anyway. lol

Fantastic to see this! And together with the preceding page? Amazing... Definitely THE most memorable Dredd moment in his 35 years of weekly appearances, and an incredibly important piece of 2000AD history.

The Holiest of Brian Bolland Comic Art Grails! Of all of the amazing pages, covers, etc. that Bolland has done in his storied carrer, this page reigns! I remember reading the Eagle Comics issues and thinking...."this is the most amazing thing that I've ever seen"!

Holy Drokk! What a score! Having this AND its set-up sequence-!? It just can't get any better. Thanks for sharing!

Unreal. Sometimes when you revisit an image from a comic book that you have read, it does not carry the same weight or impact as when you first saw it. I had the exact opposite experience when I saw this page again for the first time in a long while. Thanks so much for posting and sharing!

While the top panel is the greatest panel of Dredd artwork Brian ever did I still prefer some other pages overall.Having said that having the top image means you need no other images of Dredd.Congratulations.

Someone needs a bit of love. I suggest tiger theraphy, especially designed for spiky haired boys with issues. Head off and cuddle a tiger. Lol

Nobody expects the Fist of Dredd! Its main weapons are fear, surprise, and a massively gaping hole in the back of your head! What a great two-page combo.
