2000 AD #1619

Prog 1619 of 2000 AD announces "Five Fearsome Future Thrills" and delivers on the promise right from the cover, where a skeletal, green-skinned demon — hair streaming wildly behind it — tears forward atop a monstrous biomechanical bike through a blazing inferno of orange and red flames. The bold tagline "Speed Demon: On the Highway to Hell in Greysuit" sets a feverish tone for what's inside, and John Higgins's cover art captures that relentless, burning momentum with real visceral energy. A great 2009 edition of "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic" for anyone who likes their science fiction served hot.
