2000 AD #1608

Prog 1608 of "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic" arrives with a cover by Carl Critchlow that pulls no punches: a massive, tentacled crustacean creature looms over a lone rider mounted on a smaller beast, energy trails slicing through the air as the confrontation crackles with tension. The headline teases "Knot's Landing" and promises Lob learning what lies at the Vort's rotten core, setting up the kind of gloriously weird science-fantasy only 2000 AD delivers. Inside, the packed lineup spans Judge Dredd, Terror Tales, Lobster Random, Stalag 666, and The Red Seas, making this 2008 prog a satisfying anthology from first page to last.
