2000 AD #1159

Britain's best-selling adventure comic charges into September 1999 with Prog 1159, its cover by Sean Phillips presenting two bold, contrasting figures — a wiry man in white aiming a futuristic pistol and a powerfully built, mustachioed man in khaki with a prominent badge and gold chain — locked in some tense, dynamic standoff. The cover heralds "New Danger for Devlin!" as Book Two of Sirius Rising kicks off inside, alongside a new Pulp Sci-Fi thrill and a free CD-ROM demo disc sweetening the deal. With John Wagner writing and Colin Wilson on art for "War Games, Part 7," this prog delivers the kind of sharp, confident storytelling that earned 2000 AD its reputation as Britain's top adventure comic.
