2000 AD #208

Prog 208 of 2000 AD (April 19, 1981) marks the title's fourth birthday with a cover by Jesús Redondo that pulls no punches — a blond hero battles a snarling pack of monstrous creatures while a dark-haired woman looks on in alarm, all set against a fiery orange hellscape. The cover caption warns that "The Destroyer's taken over Earth… only I can save it!", and the bold "Return to Armageddon" banner makes clear the stakes are nothing short of planetary. A terrific snapshot of early-'80s British comics at full throttle, and there's even a chance to win an Atari Space Invaders game inside.
