2000 AD #1775

Prog 1775 of 2000 AD arrives with a vivid, psychedelic splash courtesy of cover artist Brendan McCarthy, announcing "The Zaucer of Zilk" with a tagline inviting readers to "let the phantasmagoria commence." The cover bursts with wild colour, centering on a caped, blue-and-yellow costumed figure seated confidently on a glowing orb, flanked by a suited anthropomorphic bear on the left and a young girl on the right, with bizarre alien creatures and surreal landscapes swirling throughout the background. Inside, John Wagner and Henry Flint continue their gripping "Day of Chaos" saga with Part 11 of "Eve of Destruction" — a fine reason to pick up what is clearly a packed, ambitious issue from Rebellion's flagship anthology.
