Trivia[]
- Letters from readers are published in the Nerve Centre. On the previous page is a composite piece of art featuring aliens designed and sent in by readers.
- The Nerve Centre also contains a text story to accompany this week's 'supercover'. Interestingly, it features Mega-City One being hit by meteorites in 2200 AD. The strike is organised by mutants who are angry that they are not permitted to live in the city. Fortunately, in the current continuity of Judge Dredd, Dredd managed to get the anti-mutant laws repealed in 2130 AD.
