2000 AD #2291

A massive, thorn-wrapped face looms over a murky tropical landscape on this striking 2000 AD cover, palm trees silhouetted against a blazing red sun as crocodiles lurk in the dark waters below. The cover teases a new Jaegir story sending the character into what the issue bills as "the most dangerous place on Nu Earth" — and that foreboding imagery makes the promise feel entirely earned. It's a wonderfully atmospheric prog that sets the stage with real menace.
