2000 AD #1560

Prog 1560 of 2000 AD puts the swaggering Nikolai Dante front and center, leaping into action in a military dress uniform with twin blade-weapons extended — all set against a sweeping sci-fi backdrop featuring an explosive cityscape and a menacing tentacled creature looming in the upper corner. Kev Crossley's cover art captures that irresistible blend of bravado and adventure that makes Dante such a fan favourite, billing him here as "The Chaperone." The issue also promises three new thrills inside, including the return of Sinister Dexter in Mother 'Lode, making this October 2007 prog a satisfyingly packed weekly package.
