2000 AD #2243

A suited figure grips a pistol while an enormous, skull-faced creature looms behind him — all writhing tentacles and alien menace — perfectly capturing the cover's promise of "Terror from the Deep." Prog 2243 teases Dexter's descent into the world beneath Downlode, setting a genuinely unsettling tone for the stories within. Rebellion's anthology continues to deliver the kind of visceral, imaginative cover art that makes each prog feel like an event.
