2000 AD #1946

This prog's cover by Dave Kendall is a visceral, painterly descent into nightmare — a flaming skeletal figure writhes at the center while grotesque undead creatures loom from the shadows of a bone-strewn hellscape, with the tagline "Dark Stars Rising: Where Do You Go After Global Genocide?" promising something suitably bleak within. The cover copy invites readers to "Enter the Dreams of Deadworld… if you dare," setting a wonderfully grim tone for this 2015 issue. Inside, Rob Williams and Henry Flint continue their sci-fi epic "Enceladus: Old Life" into its seventh part, with Flint handling the full art duties and Annie Parkhouse on letters.
