2000 AD #1632

A grim, gun-toting figure stands against a bullet-riddled brick wall dominated by a cracked golden emblem — the shadow of Volgan occupation looming large — as The Blitz Spirit promises Bill's return to liberate a city still under iron rule. Patrick Goddard's cover art captures a mood that is equal parts noir thriller and wartime resistance drama, with the tagline "Bill's back to save a city from Volgan rule" doing exactly what it needs to. This 2009 prog also teases two new Zarjaz stories kicking off inside, including a trip to Planet Chronos in Zombo, making it a genuinely packed Wednesday read.
