2000 AD #1098

Prog 1098 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology poses a provocative question right on the cover — "Who Kills B.L.A.I.R. 1?" — as a wild-eyed, snarling figure stands spread-armed against a giant bullseye target, visually making him the mark in some dangerous game. The cover art by S. B. Davis is striking in its directness, the concentric rings of the target framing the desperate, grimacing man with sharp, unsettling energy. Inside, Dan Abnett writes "In the Ugly Hour" with art, inks, and colors all by David Millgate — a tight creative team delivering what promises to be a tense chapter from the 2000 AD universe in 1998.
