2000 AD #13

Prog 13 of 2000 AD arrives dateline 21 May 1977, and the cover makes an immediate impression: the green-skinned alien editor Tharg dominates the foreground with his distinctive domed head, declaring in bold lettering "From out of my alien head, I, Tharg, bring you the… Future!" Swirling around him is a vivid montage of the weekly's sci-fi action — a red-faced figure, a helmeted motorcyclist, a massive dinosaur jaw, a hulking robot labelled "Giant," and heavy machinery tumbling through chaos. For anyone curious about where British comics were headed in 1977, this energetic prog is a fine place to look.
