2000 AD #1506

A suited, gun-toting figure walks a desolate, debris-strewn street while the enormous, unsettling grin of a clown looms from a glowing green billboard overhead — Dylan Teague's cover for 2000 AD Prog 1506 sets a genuinely tense, noir-drenched mood. The tagline promises that Malone's shocking identity waits inside, making this 2006 issue hard to set down before cracking the spine. John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra bring their collaboration to "Origins Part 2: Legacy," adding another chapter to one of British comics' most enduring series.
