2000 AD #1853

Prog 1853 of 2000 AD announces itself with a cover Dave Kendall makes hard to ignore — a massive, scarred tyrannosaur branded with "666" on its skull looms over a foreground scattered with bones, jaws agape and radiating pure prehistoric menace. The cover tagline declares "Gorehead Rules the Cret" in the Flesh strip, and this beast certainly looks the part of an apex predator who has earned that title. Inside, Michael Carroll's "New Tricks Part Four" continues with art by Paul Davidson, colors by Chris Blythe, and lettering by Annie Parkhouse — a strong lineup for any week's prog.
