2000 AD #1589

Prog 1589 of 2000 AD roars onto shelves promising "All-New Thrills" across four strips — Judge Dredd, Nikolai Dante, Sinister Dexter, and The Vort. Leigh Gallagher's cover art is a striking piece of zombie-hunter swagger: a dreadlocked, cape-wearing figure looms large in the foreground, enormous gun leveled straight at the viewer, while a rotting undead hand claws up from below and a crowd of grim, battle-worn figures fills the smoky background alongside circling crows. The cover copy heralds "Reek and Destroy — Zombie Hunter Defoe's Back to Bury the Dead," making this 2008 prog a genuinely atmospheric package for fans of Britain's finest weekly anthology.
