2000 AD #1085

Prog 1085 of 2000 AD promises a double dose of danger, with the cover — rendered by Mark Harrison — dominated by a striking, dark-haired woman in a collar and form-fitting outfit, unmistakably Durham Red, looming large against a dramatic deep-space backdrop filled with battling starships. The cover text announces a double-length episode in which Durham Red stalks her imposter, while Sinister Dexter are also flagged for action in "The Big Stiff." Inside, Dan Abnett writes and Alex Ronald illustrates "Pup Fiction, Part 1," with lettering by Steve Potter and colors by Alison Kirkpatrick — a strong creative lineup for one of Britain's most enduring anthology titles.
