2000 AD #2228

Prog 2228 promises a striking send-off with its cover headline "The Slayer & The Slain — A Warrior's Journey Ends This Prog." The cover artwork is a visceral, beautifully detailed piece: a tattooed, battle-hardened warrior strides forward gripping a long spear, while a grotesque, grinning creature clings to their back amid a chaotic swirl of fallen enemies, monstrous figures, and scattered debris. It's the kind of cover that reminds you why 2000 AD has always pushed the boundaries of fantasy illustration.
