2000 AD #1545

This 2007 prog from Rebellion's long-running weekly anthology announces "City of the Living Dead" right on its cover, and Nick Percival's painted artwork delivers — a shambling horde of rotting, hollow-eyed zombies lurches forward from a murky, fog-drenched cityscape, with one particularly grim central ghoul reaching out as if greeting you personally. The banner "Defoe Battles the East End Ghouls" sets the tone for what's lurking inside, alongside strips featuring Judge Dredd, Robo-Hunter, Greysuit, The 86ers, and more. With John Wagner, Colin MacNeil, and Chris Blythe among the creative talent on board, Prog 1545 is a satisfyingly packed issue in one of British comics' most enduring anthologies.
