2000 AD #446

A WWII-era Messerschmitt fighter screams into a dive straight toward the futuristic skyline of Mega-City One, while explosions and chaos erupt around the distinctive curved architecture below — and someone in the cockpit has just realized, via a panicked speech bubble, that they are very much not over Stalingrad. Ian Kennedy's cover for this 30 November 1985 prog perfectly captures the anarchic collision of historical warfare and science-fiction future-shock that makes 2000 AD such a distinctive read. Inside, Jeff Anderson brings the art for "Max Bubba, Part 2," with writing by Oleh Stepaniuk and lettering by Tony Jacob rounding out what looks to be a thrillingly disorienting installment.
