2000 AD #1882

Prog 1882 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology arrives with a cover by Simon Davis that pulls no punches — a bloodied, dark-haired warrior (Sláine, as the tagline confirms) lies sprawled on lush green ground, twin-headed axe in hand, while a hulking, goggle-eyed giant looms over him mid-swing. The painted composition crackles with raw, earthy energy, perfectly selling the promise of "Chop Chop! Sláine turns Giant-Slayer." Inside, the anthology format delivers its usual mix of thrills, including "Shooters Night Part Four" with script by John Wagner and art by John McCrea.
