2000 AD #1128

This prog of 2000 AD delivers a gloriously chaotic cover by Kevin Walker, depicting two brawling, heavyset figures — Rocky and Eggy, "The Balls Brothers" — locked in a collision of candy, scattered sweets, and a flying wooden spoon, with a small hammer tumbling nearby for good measure. The sheer kinetic energy of the image makes it clear these two are a force of comedic destruction, and the bold "BALLS-UP!" logo couldn't suit the scene better. Inside, the Nikolai Dante story promises a "House of Sin" pleasure cruise, while John Wagner and John Burns continue their work on "The Scorpion Dance" — making Prog 1128 a nicely varied slice of what 2000 AD has been delivering since 1977.
