2000 AD #1493

A raucous family portrait unlike any other, this 2006 prog from the "Galaxy's Greatest Comic" features cover art by Cliff Robinson depicting a sprawling clan of green, multi-limbed alien creatures gathered together — adults, youngsters, and a tiny baby among them — each one gleefully reading 2000 AD comics of their own. The tagline "Family Dynamic! Scintillating Sci-Fi Action for All Ages (and Species)" says it all, capturing the playful, self-aware charm that keeps 2000 AD readers coming back week after week. Inside, John Smith and Simon Fraser continue their story "Jumped," with colors by Gary Caldwell and lettering by Annie Parkhouse rounding out a strong lineup.
