2000 AD #2273

A moody, monochromatic still life sets the scene for Prog 2273, with a snub-nosed revolver, a string of skull-beaded rosary, a pack of Craven A cigarettes, a half-drunk cup of coffee, and a "Confidential" dossier all laid out like a spy's last effects — topped off by a cameo portrait locket bearing a striking, imperious face. The tagline announces a new story sending Constanta beyond the Iron Curtain, and the cover's Cold War atmosphere — espionage ephemera rendered in cool grays — makes a compelling case for what's inside. Rebellion's flagship anthology looks sharp and atmospheric here, leaning hard into the thriller genre's visual language.
