2000 AD #1323

Prog 1323 of 2000 AD (January 2003) announces the "Moloch" story thread with a genuinely unsettling cover by Clint Langley — a massive, skull-like alien face looms out of near-total darkness, its hollow eye sockets burning with molten orange light and a ring piercing one socket for an extra touch of grotesque detail. Inside, John Wagner and Andy Diggle continue "Judge Dredd vs. Aliens: Incubus" (Part 3), with art and inks by Henry Flint and colours by Chris Blythe keeping the tension high. A fine mid-week slice of British anthology comics at their most atmospheric.
