2000 AD #1928

The tagline says it all — "Can Bulliet's Crew Escape the Alien Grey Area?" — and Mark Harrison's cover brings that desperate question to vivid life, with a group of orange-jumpsuited figures rendered in striking full color while an oppressive mass of grotesque alien creatures looms around them in eerie monochrome. The contrast between the vulnerable, battered humans at the center and the writhing grey horrors surrounding them gives the image a genuinely unsettling atmosphere. Inside, Rob Williams and Henry Flint (handling art, inks, and colors solo) continue "Enceladus: New Life" into its fifth chapter, lettered by Annie Parkhouse — essential reading from one of 2015's most reliably inventive British anthologies.
