Simon Bisley Judge Dredd Cover

The Judge Dredd publicity machine has stepped up a gear over the past few weeks in the lead up to the much anticipated release of the new Dredd 3D film - surely global awareness of what has become one of Brit-Cit's most famous comic character's ever has never been greater?

Rebellion, the publisher's of 2000AD, are keen to give 2000AD plenty of exposure over the next few weeks to cash in on the interest in Dredd and part of that drive sees popular comic book artist Simon Bisley return to his roots with a Judge Dredd cover for 2000AD prog 1800.

(Comics Alliance have a full sized version of this cover here if you want to check out the details).

Bisley's Dredd is perhaps more grotesque than ever here while Mean Machine looks ever more cartoony.

Judge Anderson's butt is tighter than ever too!

For me this isn't one of Bisley's greatest pieces but what the hell, it's a new Bisley Dredd 2000AD cover at the end of the day - better than a poke in the eye with a toothbrush.

Comic Alliance  report that  "Publisher Rebellion describes Prog 1800 as a "massive" jumping on point for new 2000 AD readers, and is timed to release around the new Dredd live-action film starring Karl Urban..."
