2000 AD #2315

The cover of Prog 2315 puts Proteus Vex front and centre against a sweeping cosmic backdrop — his striking half-white, half-red suited figure blazing away with a pistol in each hand as enemy fire streaks in from both sides. Neil Roberts delivers a vivid, painterly piece that captures the galactic scale of the "Solar Flare" storyline teased in the cover's own tagline: "As worlds burn, can Proteus Vex stop a galactic war?" It's a compelling visual hook that makes this Rebellion prog hard to set back down.
