2000 AD #205

Prog 205 of 2000 AD hits hard with a cover by Gibbons showcasing the fearsome white-furred "Meltdown Man," a massive bear-like creature clutching a pole-axe and adorned with skulls, snarling his way through a crowd of grotesque mutant figures — the speech bubble declaring "Outta the way, Gorps… Pole-Axe is coming through!" says everything you need to know about the tone. Inside, Alan Grant and Ezquerra continue "Portrait of a Mutant" at Part 6, promising more of the gritty, imaginative storytelling that made 2000 AD essential reading in 1981. A vivid, energetic entry in Tharg's Futureworlds lineup that captures the anthology at its wild, inventive best.
