2000 AD #1138

This 1999 prog from 2000 AD spotlights Sinister Dexter with a cover that commands attention: a striking, dark-haired woman with piercing blue eyes and dramatic purple makeup looms large above the two gun-toting protagonists — one raising a pistol with red-gloved hands, the other in dark shades — beneath the ominous tagline "Til Death Do Us Part..." The cover art by S. B. Davis has a painterly, noir-drenched quality that suits the "Shotgun Wedding!" theme perfectly. Boasting a zarjaz 27-page Sinister Dexter thriller inside, Prog 1138 is a confident, stylish package from one of British comics' most enduring anthologies.
