Breathing Space

Breathing Space is a noir thriller comic strip by Rob Williams, Peter Doherty, Laurence Campbell, Lee Townsend and Ellie De Ville, published in 2000 AD progs 1451 to 1459 and reprinted in the Judge Dredd Megazine #294. It was set in the world of Judge Dredd on Luna-1, a semi-lawless frontier-style settlement where oxygen is scarce and the shadows cast by the Earthlight are dark enough to hide a murderer. It has to rain a lot in a noir story, so on the cover of prog 1457 (pictured) that's just what it did... in space. The pathetic fallacy is stronger than meteorology.
