2000 AD #1432

A striking cover by Anthony Williams sets a solemn tone for this 2005 prog, depicting four figures in dark suits standing at attention in salute before a massive grave marker topped with a menacing horned helmet, while autumn leaves scatter across a windswept sky. The tagline "Casualties of War — The V.C.s Return to Honour Absent Friends" speaks to the weight of the image, blending military mourning with science-fiction menace in a way only 2000 AD can. Three new stories launch inside — Judge Dredd, The V.C.s, and American Gothic — making Prog 1432 a fine jumping-on point for any reader.
