2000 AD #1402

2000 AD Prog 1402 from August 2004 hits hard with a cover that throws a wide-eyed, stocky young man face-to-face with a writhing mass of tentacles, skeletal jaws, and monstrous creatures bathed in hellish orange and red — all beneath the bold declaration "King Hell! Meet the New Lord of the Underworld." Steve Roberts's cover art crackles with infernal energy, promising chaos across five ongoing serials including Judge Dredd, Caballistics Inc., Bec & Kawl, A.B.C. Warriors, and Strontium Dog. Inside, John Wagner and Cam Kennedy continue "Big Deal at Drekk City" with coloring by Chris Blythe and lettering by Tom Frame — a reliably strong creative lineup for any weekly Prog.
