2000 AD #554

The "Yuletide Prog" arrives with a genuinely fun holiday scene courtesy of cover artist Mark Farmer — a green-skinned alien figure holds a "Do Not Open Until Next Week" parcel and commands a group of robots gathered around a roaring fireplace, while a small armoured droid perches on the mantelpiece clutching a hammer beside a festive robin and holly. Speech bubbles cheekily declare "Ring the changes, droids!" and "Out with the old, eh, mighty one?", giving the whole thing a warm, irreverent seasonal charm. Inside, Pete Milligan and artist Ewins continue "The Bewilderness" in this 26 December 1987 edition of the galaxy's greatest comic.
