2000 AD #1557

Prog 1557 of 2000 AD hits shelves in October 2007 with a striking cover by Rufus — a glowing green android figure looms in the foreground while an enormous, snarling mechanical face dominates the background, both rendered in an eerie monochromatic palette that feels genuinely unsettling. The tagline "Built to Blast — Is This the Droid Dredd's Looking For?" ties directly into the Mandroid: Instrument of War storyline, written by John Wagner with art by Carl Critchlow and colors by Peter Doherty. Alongside that, this packed prog also features Stone Island, A.B.C. Warriors, Caballistics Inc., and Button Man, making it a fine showcase of what British comics do best.
