2000 AD #1537

This 2007 prog of Britain's premier weekly anthology leads with a striking cover by Lee Garbett — a steely-eyed, sunglasses-wearing gunman thrusting a large pistol directly toward the reader in an unmistakably confrontational close-up, accompanied by the bold tagline "Shark Attack! Sinister Dexter Under Siege." Inside, Rob Williams and Boo Cook bring their full artistic talents to "The Biographer," one of several strips in a packed lineup that also features Judge Dredd, Nikolai Dante, and Detonator X. At £1.75, Prog 1537 is a solid slice of the relentless SF action that has kept 2000 AD on newsstands every Wednesday for decades.
