2000 AD #203

Prog 203 of 2000 AD (14 March 1981) serves up a wonderfully unsettling cover by Jesús Redondo, depicting a panicked crowd of citizens scrambling in terror from a looming, shrouded figure — the speech bubble warning of "the freak that can't be killed!" adds an immediately gripping sense of dread. Alongside the chaos, the banner proclaims "Return to Armageddon," setting a suitably apocalyptic tone for this edition. Inside, Alan Grant and Ezquerra continue "Portrait of a Mutant" with Part 4, making this a fine pick-up from one of British comics' most inventive weekly anthologies.
