2000 AD #2084

Dark, throne-room energy dominates this 2018 prog, as a helmeted figure bearing a "DEATH" badge holds grim court from an imposing seat, flanked by two ghoulish, hollow-eyed figures crawling amid a scatter of skulls at his feet. The cover's tagline — "Hail to the Chief!" — gives the whole image a sardonic, coronation-gone-wrong feel that's pure 2000 AD attitude. A fittingly unsettling package from Rebellion's ever-reliable weekly anthology.
