Catalogue note
April 1997 Issue 36 of Loaded, built around a Judge Dredd 20th-anniversary cover that composites the comic character with model Amber Smith. Exact-issue specialist cataloguing records features on Amber Smith, Richard Harris, Diego Maradona, INXS, Howard Stern, Sharleen Spiteri, Max Clifford, Paul Loughran, Woody Harrelson and 3 Colours Red. This copy retains the original attached Amber Smith fold-out poster, physically credited to photographer Bert Stern, and the rear cover is a full-page Calvin Klein Jeans advertisement.
Why this object matters
The Dredd anniversary cover and attached, physically credited Bert Stern poster make a specific bridge between TMR’s comics and photography holdings. That unusually coherent complete package retains Gold at 9.0, without treating it as Dredd’s original debut.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
