2000 AD #507

This January 1987 prog of 2000 AD headlines "Mega-City Mobsters: The Big Fish!" — and the cover by Steve Dillon delivers a wonderfully menacing mob scene, with a hulking figure in a black fedora and rose boutonnière looming over a frightened older man, flanked by armed gangsters, as the speech bubble growls "You wanna end up in a tin, Sardini?" Inside, Pete Milligan and artist Ewins (inked by J. McCarthy, lettered by Tom Frame) continue "Bad Company" with Part 8, keeping the anthology's run of sharp, varied storytelling going strong. A fine mid-run prog that showcases 2000 AD's knack for blending pulp menace with sharp wit right on the cover.
