2000 AD #1103

Britain's award-winning science fiction anthology returns with Prog 1103, and Greg Staples delivers a cover that crackles with swashbuckling energy — a grinning, red-coated swordsman leaps forward with blade raised, all wild hair and barely-contained bravado, as a figure watches warily from the bridge behind him. The cover copy promises Nikolai Dante playing for keeps in The Great Game, while Sinister Dexter faces their darkest hour in the new story "Slay Per View!" and Mazeworld invites readers to join the fight for revolution. With John Wagner writing and Carlos Ezquerra illustrating the interior strip, this 1998 prog is a genuinely satisfying package of genre adventure.
