2000 AD #27

From Brian Bolland's unsettling cover, a space-suited figure stares out through a cracked visor while a green alien creature clings directly to the faceplate — and the cover copy delivers its verdict with gleeful horror: "Composition… FLESH! Conclusion… EDIBLE!" This is Prog 27 of the still-young 2000 AD, dated 27 August 1977, and it captures perfectly the weekly's appetite for science-fiction dread wrapped in darkly comic presentation. Inside, John Wagner, Ian Gibson, Mike McMahon, and Bill Nuttall bring you "The Gorbals Ghetto!" — and if the cover is any indication, the tone is going to be anything but cosy.
