2000 AD #1583

Prog 1583 of "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic" serves up a striking Simon Davis cover featuring a snarling, fur-clad prehistoric warrior brandishing a stone axe, adorned with skull ornaments and a beaded bracelet — a primal image that perfectly captures the "Rock of Ages" tagline teasing axes and allies in Dead Eyes. Inside, five series compete for your attention, including Judge Dredd stranded in a Rad-Storm, Savage on the hunt for a lethal steak knife, and Arachne stalking human prey in The Ten-Seconders. With Gordon Rennie writing and Dave Taylor handling the full art duties on "Road Stop Part 2," this 2008 prog is a dense, satisfying weekly package.
