2000 AD #568

Prog 568 of 2000 AD hits newsstands in April 1988 with a striking Steve Dillon cover showcasing Rogue Trooper — the blue-skinned G.I. staring down the reader with a gun leveled straight at you, his skull-badged helmet and biochip gear rendered in Dillon's characteristically assured linework. The bold cover copy — "The Hits Roll On! No. 2 With a Bullet!" — sets a confident tone for the start of "Hit Two, Part 1: The Hit Parade," written by Simon Geller with art and inks by Steve Dillon. A solid entry in Fleetway's long-running weekly anthology that proves 2000 AD's roster of talent was firing on all cylinders.
