2000 AD #2234

A tumbling, shadowy ape figure dominates this hypnotic cover for Prog 2234, arms and claws outstretched against a dizzying spiral of gold and cream — perfectly capturing the promise of "Plummet of the Ape" and the return of Noam Chimpsky. The bold graphic design gives the whole thing an almost vintage-pulp energy that feels both playful and genuinely unsettling. And with four new stories kicking off inside, this is a fine jumping-on point for readers new and old.
