2000 AD #212

A fearsome pig-snouted mutant leads a charging horde across this Carlos Ezquerra cover for 2000 AD Prog 212, dated 16 May 1981 — armed figures surge forward amid the battle cry "Death to the Norms!" emblazoned in the corner. The raw, kinetic energy Ezquerra brings to the scene captures everything thrilling about the Cursed Earth's mutant underclass, with a golden-armored warrior and a terrified "norm" caught in the stampede adding real dramatic depth. With "The Mutant Army Is on the March" promised inside, this installment of "Portrait of a Mutant" looks to be a high-tension chapter in one of 2000 AD's most viscerally charged serials.
