2000 AD #1415

A green-and-gold armored figure stands solemnly before a gravestone reading "Diana Kreelman 2130–2167, Beloved Wife of Nelson, Mother of Ruth, Sadly Missed," while ghostly figures loom in the twilight background — a cover dripping with grief and consequence. The bold "Traitor's Fate" title and the promise of a "Thrilling Final Episode" make this 10 November 2004 prog feel like the culmination of something significant, and with Judge Dredd, Sinister Dexter, Strontium Dog, Lobster Random, and Faces all packed inside, there's no shortage of Thrill-power on offer. Cover art by Cliff Robinson sets a genuinely moody, elegiac tone that draws you straight in.
