2000 AD #215

2000 AD Prog 215 from June 1981 puts Mega-City One's underworld front and center, with Brian Bolland's cover depicting two armed figures in combat gear crouched in a rain-slicked urban alleyway, weapons raised, while a sniper's crosshair frames shadowy targets in a lit window above — a tense, precisely rendered snapshot of professional menace. The tagline "Meet Mega-City One's Contract Killers!" sets the tone perfectly for what's waiting inside. With Alan Grant writing and Carlos Ezquerra on art for the interior "Portrait of a Mutant" storyline, this is a strong mid-run prog that showcases the anthology at its gritty, genre-savvy best.
