Prog 1472 of 2000 AD arrives with a genuinely unsettling cover by Nick Percival — a towering, tree-rooted female figure adorned with purple flowers and gnarled branch-like limbs looms over a dark-haired woman clutching a pistol, skulls lurking in the shadowy green background.

Inside, the anthology delivers five strips including Judge Dredd, Slaine, Strontium Dog, and more, with John Wagner, Patrick Goddard, and Chris Blythe continuing "Your Beating Heart Part 4.
