2000 AD #1344

This 2003 prog from Rebellion leans gleefully into B-movie monster territory, with Simon Davis's cover depicting a colossal, red-eyed spider looming over a panicked crowd — its massive body arching over two terrified figures in the foreground as smaller figures scatter through the jungle below. The cover copy sells it perfectly: "Giant Spider Strikes! Crawling Terror 100 Feet High!" alongside the feature billing of Ramone Dexter and Finnigan Sinister in Tarantula! Also inside, John Wagner and John Burns continue their run on "Revenge of the Chief Judge's Man Part 3." A fun, visually bold issue that captures 2000 AD at its most entertainingly genre-savvy.
