2000 AD #336

This October 1983 issue of 2000 AD features a wonderfully atmospheric cover by Mike McMahon, presenting Slaine — the muscular, blue-haired Celtic warrior — looming beneath a gnarled tree while a wild-eyed, cackling figure in the foreground beckons readers with the cry "Roll Up! Roll Up! See Slaine the Giant!" Scattered onlookers in primitive dress complete the scene, lending it the feel of a bizarre ancient sideshow. A great snapshot of the weekly anthology that kept British comics readers eagerly checking the shelves every Monday.
