2000 AD #1816

Prog 1816 of 2000 AD announces itself with a genuinely unsettling cover by Clint Langley — a massive, decaying figure whose entire form seems to be composed of writhing, green-tinged corpses and skeletal bodies clambering over one another in grotesque unison. The tagline "Body Horror!" and the promise that "the dead shall rise in The Red Seas" set an appropriately grim tone for this 2013 prog. Inside, Michael Carroll and John Burns bring the story "Sealed" to life, making this a fine pick for fans of 2000 AD's darker, more visceral storytelling.
