2000 AD #1930

This prog of 2000 AD puts the Celtic warrior Sláine front and center, his scarred, bare-chested frame clutching a massive war axe and a broad spiral-emblazoned shield, with a Roman soldier's weathered helmet looming ominously in the background — a striking painterly cover by Simon Davis that sets a ferocious ancient-world mood. The bold headline "Trojan Hearse!" promises savage confrontation between Sláine and the forces of Brutus, framed with the grim Celtic euphemism "the Narrow House" for death. Inside, John Wagner scripts and Richard Elson handles full art duties on "Breaking Bud Part Two," making this 2015 prog a confident showcase of 2000 AD's enduring appetite for myth and muscle.
