2000 AD #1036

This April 1997 prog of 2000 AD leads with a striking Mercy Heights cover by Kevin Walker, depicting a diverse ensemble of human and alien medical staff — all wearing white uniforms marked with red crosses — assembled in determined formation against a deep-space backdrop, with a space station visible behind them. The headline "Mercy Mission: Mercy Heights' Staff Are Under Pressure!" sets a tense, sci-fi medical drama tone, while the roster of strips inside — Judge Dredd, Slaine, Al's Baby, and Nikolai Dante — promises a full spread of 2000 AD's signature variety. As a bonus, the prog comes with an exclusive 16-page Havok supplement, making this particular issue a notably packed read.
