2000 AD #1056

Prog 1056 of 2000 AD hits with a striking Greg Staples cover depicting a muscular, bandaged warrior raising a curved blade over a flame-haired woman crouching at his feet — brooding, atmospheric fantasy art that sets the tone for the "Witch World" feature inside. The prog promises plenty of variety, from Judge Dredd tackling fast food mayhem in "Fast Food, Part 3" (written and drawn by Kevin Walker, with lettering by Tom Frame) to the unlikely comedy of a teen tax consultant trying to stay alive. For fans of British anthology comics in 1997, this is a satisfyingly packed issue.
