2000 AD #573

Prog 573 of 2000 AD (May 7, 1988) delivers a striking cover by Liam Sharp, juxtaposing a pale, expressionless human-like mask against the angular, glowing-eyed face of a battle-scarred war droid — a visual tension that perfectly sells the "War-Droid in Disguise!" headline teasing the ABC Warriors going undercover. Inside, Pat Mills continues "The Black Hole" with art by Simon Short and lettering by Jack Potter, promising more of the dark, sprawling sci-fi storytelling that made 2000 AD essential weekly reading in 1988.
