Best of 2000AD #5

The fifth volume in Rebellion's "essential gateway into the Galaxy's Greatest Comic" serves up a gloriously chaotic cover: Judge Dredd — badge gleaming, gauntleted fist raised — locked in a mid-air brawl with a white-haired, pink-clad opponent swinging what appears to be a bingo dauber, all set against a backdrop of flashing bingo hall marquee lights and tumbling numbered balls. It's a wonderfully absurd collision of law enforcement and leisure that captures 2000 AD's signature blend of satire and action perfectly. If you've been curious about the anthology that defined British comics for generations, this handsome collection makes a very convincing argument to dive straight in.
