2000 AD #1004

Panic and chaos erupt across this cover of 2000 AD Prog 1004, where fleeing civilians are caught in a wall of fire and destruction as a massive alien craft looms overhead — a vivid visual tie-in to the magazine's exclusive behind-the-scenes feature on the summer sci-fi blockbuster Independence Day. Cover artist Jim Murray brings real urgency to the scene, with tumbling cars and desperate figures scrambling through the carnage. Inside, the anthology lineup is equally packed, featuring Slaine (with Pat Mills writing and Dermot Power on full art duties), alongside Judge Dredd, Durham Red, Black Light, and Outlaw.
