This page of Carlos Ezquerra art was painted for the comedy sci-fi gangster story 'Al's Baby', written by John Wagner. This page was first published in Judge Dredd Megazine #15, December 9th 1991. The story Follows Al 'The Beast' Bestardi, a terrifying mob enforcer pushed into male pregnancy by his Boss, Don Luigi Sarcoma. Al's partner, Velma (the Don's daughter, pictured here using a fire extinguisher as a weapon), refuses to bear a child as she believes it will interfere with her career as a singer (despite her being terrible), so the task falls to Al. This page has been in a private collection for many years and is only being made available now for the first time, over 30 years after it was first published. The colours are impeccable as the artwork has not been exposed to light, and the artwork still has it's original acetate overlay with word balloons still affixed.
