2000 AD #1433

That unsettling grin belongs to Rawhide Rex — a sharp-toothed, cowboy-hatted figure tipping his brim toward the reader against a blood-red background, promising that the "American Nightmare" has well and truly arrived. This 2005 prog of 2000 AD packs in Judge Dredd, Sinister Dexter, American Gothic, The V.C.s, and Nikolai Dante alongside the Rawhide Rex strip "Descent Part 2," written and drawn by Cat Sullivan. Cover art by Mike Collins delivers a menacing close-up that's hard to look away from — and even harder to forget.
