2000 AD #1595

A massive, fragmented mechanical face dominates the cover of this 2008 edition of "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic," its glowing red eyes blazing with menace as it bellows "DESTROY!" — with the banner proclaiming "The White Army Declares War on Flesh" leaving little doubt about the threat within. Simon Davis's cover art renders the machine's shattered, angular visage with real intensity, making it an arresting image even before you've cracked the spine. Inside, five strips compete for your attention — Judge Dredd, Defoe, The Vort, Sinister Dexter, and Nikolai Dante — making Prog 1595 a genuinely packed package of British sci-fi comics at full throttle.
