2000 AD #429

From the August 1985 pages of Britain's beloved weekly anthology comes 2000 AD Prog 429, boldly asking "Rogue Playing Games?" as its shirtless, muscular hero stands defiant, rifle in hand, while massive snarling dragons close in from every side. The cover by José Ortiz crackles with raw energy — those reptilian jaws and grasping claws make the tagline "Dragons in Dungeons!" feel like an understatement. Inside, Alan Grant scripts and C. Ezquerra illustrates Part 5 of "The Slavers of Drule," subtitled "King Larry the Certifiable," promising the kind of pulpy, inventive sci-fi adventure that kept readers reaching for their 24p every Monday.
