2000 AD #1075

Prog 1075 of 2000 AD (dated 30 December 1997) announces itself with a striking cover by Siku — a hulking, reptilian creature towers over a small, cloaked figure below, cigar clamped in its jaws, while a woman's face peers out from a circular inset alongside the teaser "Where did you get that Head?" This week's anthology promises plenty of variety: Sinister Dexter takes centre stage in a giant-sized comedy tale, Judge Dredd hunts Mega-City One's weirdest killer, and Nikolai Dante faces a duel action thriller. With John Wagner, Paul Marshall, Alan Craddock, and Tom Frame among the creative talent inside, this is a confident, entertaining end-of-year package from Britain's favourite weekly.
