2000 AD #1739

Britain's long-running weekly anthology shines a spotlight on Absalom in Prog 1739, with cover art by Tiernen Trevallion that makes an immediate impression: a hefty metallic police badge — crowned, emblazoned with an all-seeing eye within a triangle, and bearing the Absalom name — looms against a churning backdrop of hellish orange flame and unsettling, half-glimpsed forms. The tagline "Dark Forces: Policing the Paranormal" says everything you need to know about the tone Gordon Rennie and Lee Carter are bringing inside. A proud 2011 Eagle Award winner for Favourite British Colour Comic, this is 2000 AD firing on all cylinders.
