2000 AD #2276

Prog 2276 of the UK's long-running anthology 2000 AD promises dark, supernatural thrills under the ominous banner "House of the Unholy!" The cover assembles a striking cast of uneasy allies and outright threats: a sharp-dressed figure in a fedora and trench coat, a snarling fanged creature in a suit with blood-red eyes, a looming monstrous presence draped in chains to the left, and an ethereal blue-green figure hovering against a night sky above them all. The tagline — "What fate awaits Constanta in Baba Yaga's lair?" — sets an irresistibly sinister mood for what looks to be one of the prog's more folklore-drenched chapters.
