2000 AD #1338

2000 AD Prog 1338 arrives with a cover that grabs you immediately — Agent Tiger hurls through a storm of fire and shattered debris, mid-scream and clearly in the thick of something very bad, with Andy Clarke's linework making the explosion feel genuinely kinetic and hot. The tagline "Sudden Impact: Agent Tiger's Burning Bright!" sets the tone perfectly for what looks like a high-stakes instalment of the strip inside. With Gordon Rennie writing and Paul Marshall on art, colored by Chris Blythe, this April 2003 prog looks like a fine slice of the anthology's enduring action-thriller energy.
