2000 AD #1007

A brooding, muscular Celtic warrior fills the cover of 2000 AD Prog 1007, gripping an ornate, Celtic-knotworked sword with fierce intensity — this is Slaine, the barbarian hero at the heart of "The Treasures of Britain," his sword and sorcery saga running inside. Jim Murray's cover art renders the fur-clad warrior with striking detail, from the ceremonial bracers on his wrists to the wild determination in his eyes. Alongside Slaine's ongoing adventure — written by Pat Mills with art by Dermot Power — this 1996 prog also promises Rogue's Return ("This time it's war"), a new Judge Dredd story, Outlaw, and Black Light, making it a packed issue of Britain's premier future-fiction anthology.
