2000 AD #1791

From a crumbling balcony flanked by weathered caryatid statues, a lone figure gazes out over a vast, eerily silent cityscape bathed in the warm glow of a setting — or rising — sun, while the words "THE END" lie etched across the foreground floor. Simon Fraser's cover for this 2012 Prog strikes a haunting, meditative note that feels genuinely earned rather than merely dramatic. Inside, Al Ewing, Andrew Currie, Eva de la Cruz, and Annie Parkhouse bring "The Rich Cabaret" to the pages of Britain's essential weekly anthology.
