2000 AD #2026

Defoe returns to the streets of 17th-century London on this striking cover by Cliff Robinson, where the plague-hunter stands cloaked and wide-brimmed against a surging horde of rotting Reeks, pistol blazing point-blank into the undead mass. The cover tagline — "The Reeks Shall NOT Inherit the Earth!" — sets the tone perfectly for this week's prog, which features "Harvey Part Three" with John Wagner writing and John McCrea on art and inks, colored by Mike Spicer. 2000 AD's blend of historical grime and zombie horror has rarely looked this visceral.
