2000 AD #2142

A colossal, tentacled Great Old One dominates this prog's cover, its glowing eyes and writhing appendages dwarfing the helpless human figure caught in its grasp — a visceral image that sets the stakes perfectly for what's inside. The cover tagline asks whether Arcana can succeed in bringing this ancient horror online, promising cosmic-scale tension across 2019's Prog 2142. Another strong entry in Britain's beloved weekly anthology, this issue delivers the kind of gloriously unsettling sci-fi imagery that has kept 2000 AD essential reading for decades.
