Catalogue note
Judge Dredd: The Megazine Vol. 2 #27 is a notably complete May 1993 issue whose original free Judge Dredd jigsaw survives with the comic. The premium deliberately mirrors the lead story, “The Jigsaw Murders,” making the physical package itself part of the issue’s editorial concept. The issue also launches four new serials/arcs, including Alan Grant and Kevin Walker’s “Childhood’s End,” and physically states that Si Spencer and Dean Ormston introduce the new characters Harke & Burr. The intact premium, multiple story launches and strong relationship to TMR’s existing Vol. 2 Megazine sequence give the object significance well beyond its modest market value.
Why this object matters
The surviving original jigsaw is unusually coherent with The Jigsaw Murders, while the issue launches Childhood’s End and Harke & Burr. This complete editorial/premium package retains Gold at 9.1; a modest adjustment distinguishes it from more foundational creator debuts.
Evidence limits: Owner confirms the copy is complete with its original Judge Dredd jigsaw. The premium is visibly present and appears intact in the supplied front-cover photograph. Selected interior pages are shown, but the full issue has not been physically collated page by page, so no claim of complete interior collation is made.
