2000 AD #1822

A desperate resistance fighter bursts from a burning London skyline on Simon Davis's cover for Prog 1822 — teeth gritted, assault rifle blazing, shell casings flying as smoke and flame engulf a recognizable Thames-side cityscape complete with St Paul's and the Gherkin. The cover tagline promises the Volgs are closing in on the underground movement, lending the whole image a tense, siege-under-siege energy. With "Wolves Part Three" continuing inside — written by Michael Carroll with art by Andrew Currie, colors by Chris Blythe, and lettering by Annie Parkhouse — this 2013 prog delivers exactly the kind of gritty, high-stakes British sci-fi storytelling that keeps readers coming back week after week.
