2000 AD #1315

This October 2002 prog of 2000 AD spotlights a Sinister Dexter story with the tagline promising that Finnigan puts the "sin" into Sinister Dexter — and Simon Davis's cover makes that threat feel very real. A pale, bespectacled figure with a cigarette dangling from his lips sits bound by a heavy chain, a menacing dark-clad presence looming large behind him. It's a striking, moody composition that sets an appropriately grim tone for a Wednesday on the mean streets of Downlode.
