2000 AD #1582

Prog 1592 of 2000 AD arrives with a cover by Nick Percival that crackles with menace — a wild-haired, goggle-wearing punk in a red jacket lunges forward firing a weapon, while military helicopters sweep through a murky, spotlight-drenched cityscape behind him, and the cover's blunt ultimatum — "Your Money or Your Life! The Debtcopter Demands Its Due" — sets a grimly satirical tone. Inside, the anthology packs in Judge Dredd, Savage, Dead Eyes, The Ten-Seconders, and Dead Signal, with Gordon Rennie and Dave Taylor delivering "Road Stop Part 1" among the lineup. If ImagineFX magazine called it "the UK's coolest comic," Prog 1592 is a solid case for the defence.
