2000 AD #1927

Prog 1927 of Britain's long-running anthology drops readers into the dust-blown badlands of a place called Stixville, where an armored, dual-pistol-wielding hero stands his ground against a looming gang of wide-brimmed hat-wearing figures emerging from a fiery, scorched horizon — a vulture perched on the town sign completing the ominous atmosphere. Greg Staples' cover art sells the showdown with gritty, sun-drenched confidence, teasing the tagline "Stix and Stones are gonna break Alpha's bones." Inside, Rob Williams and the multi-tasking Henry Flint continue "Enceladus: New Life Part Four," with lettering by Annie Parkhouse rounding out this 2015 issue's packed lineup.
