2000 AD #181

From October 1980, 2000 AD Prog 181 features a Carlos Ezquerra cover that puts the tension front and centre: a helmeted Strontium Dog agent is driven to his knees, gun drawn, as a massive skeletal creature with razor claws looms over him — and the desperate speech bubble says it all: "It's taken my best shot… and it still won't die!" It's a vivid snapshot of "Death's Head, Part 4," with Ezquerra's bold linework making the threat feel genuinely overwhelming. A great slice of early-'80s British comics energy at its scrappy, imaginative best.
