2000 AD #1898

A churning mass of undead horrors dominates Dave Kendall's cover for this 2014 prog, featuring a crowned skeletal figure with glowing eyes presiding over a writhing tangle of decayed, winged, and monstrous beings clawing their way toward the viewer — all beneath the ominous tagline "The Mother of All Nightmares…" It's a genuinely unsettling piece of painted cover art that sets a dark, visceral tone. Inside, Michael Carroll's "Cascade Part Five" continues with art by Paul Marshall, colors by Gary Caldwell, and lettering by Annie Parkhouse, making this a strong entry in 2000 AD's 2014 lineup.
