2000 AD #1423

Prog 1423 of 2000 AD bursts onto the scene with a kinetic cover by Jason Brashill showcasing a squad of armored, helmeted figures tearing across snowboards in mid-action, centered on a dominant figure in teal clutching what appears to be a ball — all radiating outward against a blazing yellow sunburst backdrop under the bold "Slam City! The Blues Come Out Fighting" banner. Inside, Cat Sullivan pulls triple duty as writer, artist, and inker on "Visiting Hour," one of five strips packed into this January 2005 prog. Alongside Judge Dredd, Sláine, Caballistics Inc., Nikolai Dante, and Second City Blues, this issue delivers a typically dense and entertaining anthology from one of British comics' most enduring weekly anthologies.
