2000 AD #1861

Prog 1861 of 2000 AD hits hard with Henry Flint's unsettling cover: a screaming face split down the middle — half human, half grotesquely decayed — framed within a stark red triangle against a swirling, psychedelic background, with the bold warning "RISK OF MELTDOWN — TIME CHANGE CAN AFFECT YOUR FUTURE" driving home the dread. Inside, Emma Beeby and John Burns deliver the fourth part of "Ferals," alongside three more strips — Judge Dredd, Damnation Station, Brass Sun, and Flesh — making this a genuinely packed December 2013 prog. Four stories of sci-fi, horror, and future-shock for just £2.35 is a deal that's hard to argue with.
