2000 AD #1685

Prog 1685 of "The Galaxy's Greatest Comic" arrives with a striking cover by Simon Fraser — a cracked, mechanical heart bleeds and burns simultaneously, its right side erupting in flames while dark crimson drips from its fractured shell. The stark, unsettling image pairs perfectly with the headline "A Farewell to Arms," setting a tone of damage and consequence. Inside, John Wagner and John Higgins continue the Judge Dredd epic "Tour of Duty: The Talented Mayor Ambrose" into its twelfth chapter, with colors by Sally Hurst and lettering by Annie Parkhouse rounding out a strong creative team for this 2010 issue.
