2000 AD #1170

Prog 1170 arrives with one of the more gloriously unhinged covers of 1999 — mustachioed agent Devlin Waugh, dapper in his red suit, tumbling underwater and surrounded on all sides by the gaping jaws of multiple sharks, bubbles trailing as he spreads his arms wide. Cover artist Jason Brashill stages the scene with real menace and dark humor, perfectly matching the tagline "Open Wide!" Inside, the anthology keeps its momentum with a new Judge Dredd thriller, plus Nikolai Dante, Nemesis, and Pulp Sci-Fi — all just three weeks out from the milestone of Prog 2000.
