2000 AD #1343

A massular, snarling alien creature dominates this prog's cover, crouching with clawed hands spread wide against a writhing backdrop of tentacles and glowing orbs — Richard Elson's linework giving the whole scene a visceral, coiled-spring energy. The "Alien Nation!" banner and the tease that "The Break-Out Begins in Interceptor" promise an extraterrestrial tension running through this June 2003 edition of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic. Inside, John Wagner scripts and John Burns illustrates "Revenge of the Chief Judge's Man Part 2," making Prog 1343 a fine weekly hit of 2000 AD storytelling.
