“Crime and Punishment”

"Crime and Punishment" in Judge Caligula #1 (1982) delivers a darkly absurd twist on justice in Mega City 1, where the Chief Judge halts executions for a state funeral—honoring his goldfish—while Judge Dredd quietly guides the citizens to safety. Written by John Howard and illustrated by Brian Bolland with inks by Leach and letters by Thomas, the issue’s cover by Bolland and McMahon captures the surreal tone with striking, layered artwork.
