2000 AD #1716

A dapper figure in white tie and tails holds a cocktail glass with cool composure aboard the Graf Orlok — an airship whose sweeping purple hull curves dramatically behind him — while the cover's tagline asks what inhuman killer lurks within its corridors. Simon Davis's painted cover has a lush, almost cinematic quality that perfectly sets the mood for "Creatures of Habit," the Ampney Crucis mystery teased within. This 2011 prog delivers that quintessential 2000 AD blend of elegance and unease in one beautifully unsettling image.
