2000 AD #1586

Prog 1586 of 2000 AD puts London's fate front and center, with the cover — pencilled and inked by Patrick Goddard — depicting a tense, close-quarters struggle between two figures, one wielding a stake while the other, wearing a camouflage mask, fights back in a desperate grapple. The tagline "Staked! The fate of London rests on a knife edge" sets a suitably urgent tone for what's packed inside this 2008 issue. Alongside the Dead Eyes feature spotlighted on the cover, readers also get Judge Dredd, Savage, Dead Signal, and The Ten-Seconders — a typically generous spread from the Galaxy's Greatest Comic.
