2000 AD #349

Ringing in the last day of 1983, 2000 AD Prog 349 arrives with a genuinely unsettling cover by Kevin O'Neill — a massive, writhing alien creature dominates the image, all tentacles and wild eyes, rendered in O'Neill's characteristically intricate and grotesque style. The bold cover caption declares "The Arch Deviant Is Defeated!" while a separate banner promises "Bad News for Aliens In… Nemesis the Warlock," setting an ominous tone for the stories within. Featuring Judge Dredd and a lineup of the galaxy's finest mayhem, this is a fine way to close out the year on a suitably alien note.
