Has anyone ever seen this published Judge Dredd book? 1 1

 I can't find it anywhere online...and figured i'd try with the esteemed art collectors here! 

Artist is John M Burns

It reprints the SCORPION DANCE storyline which originally appeared in 2000 AD 1125-1132

Currently checking this out with FB friends on a British OA group.  Up to now, thoughts are that it could be an unpublished piece?  Great painting and definitely a legit John M Burns artwork.

I don't believe it's unpublished..I bought this cover and cover prelim above WITH the complete 30 or so page complete painted interior story.

Checked in on a British Comic Art FB group I frequent where there are Judge Dredd/2000 AD art collectors.  No positive ID for your painting as yet, though folks there suggested it might be unpublished.  I don't collect this stuff myself, so have no personal knowledge/experience.  Good luck with the hunt!

Attached is a scan of the only known published cover I can locate.  If you bought (or have on consignment) from a British collector, you would be as well to ask him for proof of publishing?

Mike wanted to know if his cover paintings was actually printed . . . well, was it? 

Don't think he was looking to buy any back issues as he's an art dealer.

I'll see if I can find out
