2000 AD #1355

Sláine charges into battle on this August 2003 cover of 2000 AD Prog 1355, the wild-haired Celtic warrior riding an ornate war chariot through a mass of spear-wielding enemies, massive double-bladed axe raised high while a blazing, bird-like flame erupts overhead. Clint Langley's painted cover work renders every piece of knotwork detail and chain-linked armor with striking intensity, making "War Has Begun" feel like more than just a tagline. Inside, John Wagner and Charlie Adlard continue "The Satanist" saga, with coloring by Chris Blythe and lettering by Tom Frame rounding out a reliably strong weekly package from Rebellion.
