2000 AD #1500

Prog 1500 is a genuine milestone for 2000 AD, and Boo Cook's cover makes the occasion feel suitably monumental — a colossal stone figure stands arms-folded beside a massive "1500" block, while a sprawling army of futuristic bikes and riders masses at its base and missile-trails streak across a chaotic sky filled with bizarre machinery and creatures. The sheer density of detail rewards a long look, with every corner packed with some new piece of glorious sci-fi weirdness. Inside, John Wagner and Kev Walker bring "The Connection Part 1" to the anthology's pages, making this 2006 landmark prog one to seek out for any serious reader of British comics.
