2000 AD #1531

A squad of gas-masked figures in black tactical gear burst through what looks like a corridor or tunnel, weapons blazing, in Simon Davis's kinetic cover for this 2007 prog. The tagline "Prison Break! The Peaseys is gonna fly in Sinister Dexter" promises chaotic action to come, while inside, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra continue their landmark Judge Dredd epic with "Origins Part 19: Army of the Damned." It's a satisfying weekly package that showcases why 2000 AD remained one of Britain's most compelling anthologies in 2007.
