2000 AD #1705

2000 AD Prog 1705 arrives with a cover that demands attention — Neil Roberts renders a battered, wild-haired figure clutching a pistol directly toward the viewer, flies buzzing around him and safety pins dotting his jacket, the whole image radiating a grimy, unsettling intensity. The tagline "Gun Crazy — Prepare for a Frank Exchange of Firepower" sets the tone perfectly for what's inside, including Al Ewing and Andrew Currie's story "Harry Sheemer, Mon Amour," brought to life with colors by Chris Blythe and lettering by Annie Parkhouse. A strong 2010 entry from the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, wearing its anarchic spirit right on its sleeve.
