2000 AD #1626

Prog 1626 of "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic" arrives in 2009 with a cover by Carlos Ezquerra showcasing a grim-faced figure in a distinctive fur-trimmed helmet and heavy armor, clutching an oversized weapon, backed by a trio of hard-edged, heavily armed characters who look ready for serious trouble. The tagline "Hunting Dogs" and "Alpha's Shooting for the Moon" set an appropriately tense, action-packed mood for what's inside. With John Wagner writing and Paul Marshall on art and inks — colored by Chris Blythe and lettered by Annie Parkhouse — this issue continues the anthology's tradition of sharp storytelling across its varied strips.
