2000 AD #1385

Fire & Ice — The Cold War Just Got Hot" promises exactly the kind of frost-bitten tension that Charlie Adlard's cover delivers: three armored soldiers in white winter gear advance through a snowstorm, weapons raised, while a red-haired woman holds her ground at their flank. Prog 1385 packs in Judge Dredd, Sinister Dexter, Rogue Trooper, Bec & Kawl, and Durham Red alongside the fourth chapter of "Gulag," written and drawn by Cat Sullivan. It's a strong mid-April 2004 package from Rebellion, wrapped in a cover that makes the chill feel genuinely earned.
