2000 AD #1462

This 2005 edition of 2000 AD goes somewhere unsettling with its "School Daze" cover — a ornate flintlock pistol rests on a wooden desk beside a child's crayon drawing ("A is for Apple," addressed to "Caleb"), a green exercise book, a pencil, and a spreading pool of blood that makes the innocent schoolroom details feel genuinely chilling. Cover art by Paul Marshall delivers that contrast with quiet, understated craft. Inside, the prog packs Judge Dredd, Rogue Trooper, The Red Seas, and Leatherjack alongside "Mandroid Part 10," written and illustrated by John Wagner and Kev Walker with lettering by Tom Frame.
