2000 AD #1011

Prog 1011 puts Ukko, Slaine's mischievous dwarf sidekick, front and center — rendered here by Jim Murray as a wild-eyed, grinning jester in a red-and-gold motley, clutching a spiked star-tipped marotte and radiating genuine menace beneath his fool's cap. The "New Thrill" banner signals the launch of "The Cloak of Fear," with Pat Mills writing and Steve Tappin handling full art duties on what promises to be a darker, more unsettling showcase for the fan-favourite trickster. Rounding out this 1996 prog are Judge Dredd, Black Light, Outlaw, and Rogue Trooper — a typically packed lineup from the self-proclaimed ultimate in future fiction.
