2000 AD #1710

Prog 1710 of 2000 AD puts Sláine front and center in a striking painted cover by Clint Langley, where the battle-worn Celtic warrior comes face-to-face with a towering, black-armored demonic figure whose glowing red eyes radiate menace against a murky, foliage-choked background. The subtitle "Sláine the Exorcist" sets a suitably dark tone, hinting at supernatural conflict to come. A fine 2010 entry in Britain's longest-running anthology for anyone who appreciates grim fantasy rendered with real visual intensity.
