2000 AD #557

Three menacing alien faces dominate John Hicklenton's striking cover for this January 1988 prog — a snarling, battle-worn creature looms in the foreground, flanked by a towering horned figure in ornate armor and a pale, ethereal face emerging from the shadows. The bold cover lines "Torque-Ing Heads" and "Earth Goes Pop?" set an ominous tone, while the promise of "Nemesis: The Climax — Inside!" adds real urgency to the package. With Pete Milligan writing and Ewins on art, this week's installment of The Bewilderness arrives at Part 10 with plenty of momentum behind it.
