2000 AD #1457

A helmeted figure on a sleek futuristic bike tears through a torrential rainstorm with the Earth itself looming in the background — it's a striking image from Karl Richardson that perfectly captures the tagline "Rider on the Storm: The Hunt for the Earth Murderer Goes Orbital." This September 2005 prog packs in a full slate of strips, including Judge Dredd, Savage, Caballistics Inc., Future Shocks, and Breathing Space alongside the John Wagner–written Mandroid Part 5, brought to life by Kev Walker's art, inks, and colors. A well-rounded issue that shows 2000 AD firing on all cylinders.
