2000 AD #448

A wild-eyed, scarred figure dominates this December 1985 cover of 2000 AD Prog 448, his grinning maw bristling with jagged fangs and a single menacing word balloon crying "SLAY!" — Glenn Fabry's close-up rendering is visceral and unsettling in the best possible way. Featuring Judge Dredd, this issue also continues "Return to Milli-Com" through Part 5, with interior art by José Ortiz and script by G. Finley-Day. A fine slice of British comics at their most gloriously unhinged, priced at just 24p Earth money.
