2000 AD #275

Prog 275 of 2000 AD hits the stands on 31 July 1982 with a cover by Massimo Belardinelli that commands immediate attention — a hulking, green-skinned alien warrior wearing a "GBH DEAD" tag lunges forward mid-battle, fist raised, bursting through smoke and chaos under the teasing tagline "Take Your Partners for the… Sha'Ka War Dance!" Inside, Alan Grant and Ian Gibson bring readers "The Killing of Kidd, Part 1," and the banner promises a brand-new Robo-Hunter story to sweeten the deal. It's a quintessential slice of British weekly comics at their most vivid and energetic.
