2000 AD #1781

From Henry Flint's striking cover for this 2012 prog, a decaying, zombie-like figure lunges toward the viewer with clawed hands and the gleeful declaration "WEEE HAAAVE REETURRNED!" — while behind it, a figure wreathed in flames clashes violently with a masked antagonist bearing a "FEAR" insignia against a blood-red sky. It's a fittingly unsettling visual gateway to "Day of Chaos: Eve of Destruction Part 17," with John Wagner writing and Colin MacNeil on art alongside colorist Chris Blythe and letterer Annie Parkhouse. The relentless momentum of the Day of Chaos saga is on full display here, making this a prog that demands to be picked up.
