2000 AD #1602

Prog 1602 of "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic" packs in five series across its pages — Judge Dredd, The Red Seas, A.B.C. Warriors, Stalag 666, and Lobster Random — making it a satisfying weekly anthology from 2008. Steve Yeowell's cover art dominates with a brooding composition: a group of armed figures and a bulldog surge forward in the foreground, backed by additional characters, all dwarfed by an enormous masked or helmeted face looming behind them, with the bold "States of Fear — Dancer Faces the Norsemen of the Apocalypse" tagline setting an ominous tone. It's a striking visual invitation to everything packed inside this mid-run prog.
