2000 AD #1944

Prog 1944 of 2000 AD announces the arrival of The Alienist with a cover that pulls you straight into supernatural dread — a determined woman in Victorian-styled dress reaches outward amid a swirling vortex of glowing blue spectral figures, while a wide-eyed man raises a pistol beside her, both surrounded by screaming wraith-like forms and a ghostly leaping beast. Cliff Robinson's pencils and inks give the haunted scene real momentum, with those translucent apparitions layered beautifully against the ornate interior setting. Inside, Rob Williams and Henry Flint continue Enceladus: Old Life into its fifth chapter, making this 2015 prog a satisfying read across the anthology.
