2000 AD #1424

Prog 1424 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology lands with a striking Simon Davis cover showcasing a determined young woman — glasses, fur-trimmed coat, and twin pistols — bracing herself against a massive stone golem that looms and crashes through debris behind her. The tagline "Stone Cold Crazy! Golem A-Go-Go in Caballistics, Inc." sets the tone perfectly, and the header strips promise Judge Dredd, Sláine, Second City Blues, and Nikolai Dante alongside the supernatural action. Five ongoing serials in a single February 2005 issue — this is exactly why 2000 AD remains essential weekly reading.
