2000 AD #2360

This striking 2000 AD prog presents a quietly gut-punching image: two alien figures — a larger one sheltering a smaller, child-like companion — huddled beneath a looming Earth covered in hostile graffiti reading "Aliens Not Welcome," "Earth for Humans Only," and "Go Home!!!" The contrast between the vulnerability of the pair below and the aggression blazing across the globe above gives the cover real emotional weight, perfectly matching the issue's subtitle, The Weight of the World. It's the kind of cover that makes you pause before you even open the book.
