2000 AD #1841

Prog 1841 of 2000 AD promises a scorching finish to the Wastelands storyline, with the cover — painted by Dave Taylor — showing a helmeted figure in red viewed from behind, facing an enormous, fiery explosion that blooms into something almost skull-like in the swirling chaos of orange and white. It's a striking, atmospheric image that sets a properly apocalyptic tone for what the banner calls "the explosive end to Wastelands." John Wagner and Dave Taylor round out the creative team inside, with lettering by Annie Parkhouse.
