2000 AD #1622

Prog 1622 of 2000 AD arrives with a striking cover by Cliff Robinson, plunging a hulking, glowing-eyed figure — clearly Strontium Dog's Johnny Alpha — into a murky underwater world, surrounded by bubbles and eerie red creatures lurking at the edges. The bold tagline "Drowned Dog? Alpha's Got That Sinking Feeling…" sets an ominous tone that matches the visual perfectly. Inside, five strips compete for your attention — Judge Dredd, The Red Seas, Greysuit, Marauder, and Strontium Dog — making this 2009 issue a typically packed and inventive instalment of Galaxy's Greatest Comic.
