2000 AD #551

The cover of Prog 551 (5 December 1987) makes an immediate impression: a massive, snarling masked figure dominates the red background, clutching a flaming skeletal head while jagged lightning bolts and a bold "OX" emblem frame the whole menacing composition — all underscored by the tagline "The Judda Are in Town!" John Higgins handles both pencils and inks here, giving the image a fierce, smoldering intensity that suits the promise of "Lies, Half-Truths and Incinerations…" perfectly. Inside, Pete Milligan and artist Ewins continue "The Bewilderness" with lettering by Tom Frame, making this a strong late-1987 entry in Britain's beloved weekly anthology.
