2000 AD #1357

The September 2003 edition of Britain's beloved weekly anthology arrives with a striking Frazer Irving cover that splits a lone warrior figure dramatically between two worlds — a warm, golden seascape with tall ships on one side, and a cold, blue battlefield of distant troops and impaled standards on the other. The tagline "From Grace — The Descent Has Begun…" frames this dual-natured figure, armed and coiled with quiet intensity, as someone caught between two very different fates. Inside, Gordon Rennie and Ian Gibson deliver "Holding On," promising the kind of sharp, atmospheric storytelling that keeps 2000 AD's weekly Wednesday ritual essential reading.
