2000 AD #480

This July 1986 issue of 2000 AD (Prog 480) opens with a wonderfully cheeky cover by John Higgins, spoofing vintage bodybuilding ads with a scrawny fellow sporting comically inflatable muscles flexing alongside an admiring redhead — all in the name of "Mega-City Chic Physique." The playful gag artwork perfectly captures the irreverent humour that made 2000 AD such a distinctive presence on British newsstands. Inside, T. B. Grover and John Higgins continue their work on "Rage, Part 12," promising another chapter of the serialised action the weekly's devoted readership kept coming back for.
