2000 AD #548

Prog 548 of 2000 AD arrives in November 1987 with a genuinely unsettling cover by Brett Ewins — a gaunt, decomposing figure in a wide-brimmed hat and tattered robes looms over a field of rubble and fallen bodies beneath a lurid pink sky, the tagline promising that what was once a bad dream has now become the nightmare. The Bad Company logo in the corner anchors this striking image to that strip, with Pete Milligan and Ewins launching "The Bewilderness, Part 1" inside. A moody, atmospheric entry in the long-running British weekly that fans of dark, war-tinged science fiction will want on their shelf.
